The Management Agreement Contract is a crucial legal instrument used in Malta to formalize the relationship between organizations and professional management service providers. This document is essential when a company seeks to outsource management functions or engage professional managers under Maltese jurisdiction. It comprehensively addresses key aspects including scope of services, duties, compensation, performance metrics, and compliance requirements under both Maltese and EU law. The agreement is particularly relevant in Malta's dynamic business environment, where international companies often establish operations and require professional management services. It provides necessary legal protections for all parties while ensuring alignment with Malta's corporate governance requirements and EU regulations.
