The Retainer Contract serves as a foundational document for establishing long-term professional service relationships under Maltese law. It is particularly useful when a client requires regular, ongoing access to professional services without the need to negotiate terms for each individual engagement. This document type includes essential provisions required by Maltese legislation, covering aspects such as service scope, payment terms, confidentiality, and data protection. The agreement is commonly used by professional service providers, consultants, and advisory firms operating in Malta, providing a framework for recurring services while ensuring compliance with local regulatory requirements. The Retainer Contract's structure allows for both fixed-fee and variable compensation models, making it adaptable to different service arrangements while maintaining legal certainty under Maltese jurisdiction.
