Document background
A Corporate Engagement Letter is a crucial document used in professional services relationships in Canada, establishing the formal terms of engagement between professional service providers and their corporate clients. This document is typically employed when initiating new professional service relationships or updating existing ones, containing detailed information about service scope, delivery terms, fees, and professional obligations. The letter must comply with Canadian federal and provincial regulations, including professional services regulations, privacy laws, and business corporations acts. It serves multiple purposes: defining the professional relationship, setting expectations, ensuring regulatory compliance, and providing legal protection for both parties. The Corporate Engagement Letter is particularly important in the Canadian context where professional services are often regulated at both federal and provincial levels, requiring careful attention to jurisdictional requirements and professional standards.
