Document background
The Legal Services Contract serves as the foundational document governing the attorney-client relationship in the United States. This contract is essential when engaging legal services, whether for ongoing representation or specific matters. It protects both parties by clearly defining expectations, responsibilities, and fee structures while ensuring compliance with state bar requirements and professional conduct rules. The document typically includes detailed provisions for confidentiality, conflict of interest procedures, and termination rights, making it crucial for establishing clear professional boundaries and legal obligations.
