Retainer Letters are essential documents in Danish legal practice, used to formalize the engagement between legal professionals and their clients. These letters serve multiple crucial purposes: they establish the scope and terms of legal services, define fee structures and payment terms, and ensure compliance with Danish regulatory requirements including the Administration of Justice Act and GDPR. The document is typically initiated at the beginning of a new client relationship or when engaging in new matters with existing clients. It should contain clear information about service scope, team structure, confidentiality obligations, conflict procedures, and termination rights. Under Danish law, these letters must be particularly precise about fee arrangements and professional liability, while also incorporating specific requirements from the Danish Bar and Law Society.
