The Business Retainer Agreement serves as a foundational document for establishing long-term professional service relationships in Qatar. This agreement type is commonly used when a client requires regular access to professional services without the need for separate engagement agreements for each service instance. The document must comply with Qatar's legal framework, particularly the Civil Code (Law No. 22 of 2004) and Commercial Code (Law No. 27 of 2006), and typically includes detailed provisions for service scope, payment terms, performance standards, and termination rights. It's particularly valuable for businesses seeking ongoing professional support while ensuring predictable costs and service availability, whether for legal, consulting, IT, or other professional services.
