Document background
The Consulting Engagement Letter is a crucial document used to formalize professional consulting relationships under Belgian law. It is typically employed when engaging external consultants or consulting firms for specific projects or ongoing professional services. The document encompasses essential elements required by Belgian commercial and contract law, including clear service definitions, fee structures, VAT considerations, and relevant regulatory compliance requirements. This letter-format agreement serves as a foundational document that outlines the parties' obligations, protects their interests, and ensures clarity in the business relationship while maintaining compliance with Belgian legal frameworks. The Consulting Engagement Letter is particularly important in the Belgian context where professional services relationships require clear documentation for tax, social security, and regulatory purposes.
