The Retainer Model Contract serves as a foundational agreement for establishing long-term professional service relationships under Maltese law. It is particularly useful when a client requires regular access to professional services and wishes to secure priority service delivery through a pre-arranged fee structure. This contract type addresses key aspects such as service scope, retainer fees, resource allocation, and service levels, while ensuring compliance with Maltese legal requirements, including the Civil Code, VAT regulations, and data protection laws. The document is structured to provide clarity on obligations, deliverables, and commercial terms while maintaining flexibility for various professional service scenarios.
