The agreement includes essential provisions required under Maltese legislation and regulatory frameworks, including the Civil Code (Chapter 16) and relevant professional services regulations. The Retainer Agreement covers key aspects such as service scope, payment terms, confidentiality, data protection, and professional obligations, while allowing for customization based on specific service types and industry requirements. It's commonly used by professional service providers, consultants, and firms offering regular or on-demand services to their clients, providing a structured framework for long-term professional relationships.
