The Legal Retainer Agreement serves as the foundational document for establishing a continuing legal services relationship between law firms and their clients in England and Wales. It is particularly useful when clients require regular legal support or ongoing counsel. The agreement details the scope of services, billing arrangements, communication protocols, and professional obligations while ensuring compliance with SRA regulations and relevant UK legislation. This document is essential for protecting both parties' interests and setting clear expectations for the professional relationship.
