Document background
The Business Engagement Letter is a fundamental document in Indonesian professional services relationships, used to formalize the terms of business engagements between service providers and their clients. It serves as both a commercial and legal instrument, outlining the scope of work, fees, and terms while ensuring compliance with Indonesian law, including the Civil Code (KUHPerdata) and Law No. 24 of 2009 regarding language requirements. This document is typically used at the commencement of a new business relationship or project, after initial discussions and negotiations have concluded but before work begins. The Business Engagement Letter includes essential information about service delivery, professional fees, timeline, key personnel, and client obligations, while also addressing important legal aspects such as confidentiality, intellectual property rights, and liability limitations as applicable to the specific engagement.
