Document background
The Client Transfer Letter is a critical document used in Belgian business practice when transferring client relationships from one service provider to another. It is commonly used during business acquisitions, partner retirements, or practice mergers, ensuring compliance with Belgian civil law and regulatory requirements. The document must address specific Belgian legal requirements regarding contract novation, data protection under GDPR, and professional regulations. The letter typically includes essential information about the transfer timeline, impact on services, data handling procedures, and any required client actions. It serves both as a formal notification and, where necessary, a request for client consent, particularly important in regulated sectors where specific approval procedures must be followed.
