Document background
The Due Diligence Engagement Letter is a critical document used in the Philippine business and legal environment when a company or individual requires professional services for investigating and verifying various aspects of a business transaction or investment opportunity. This document is essential in situations involving mergers and acquisitions, significant investments, corporate restructuring, or regulatory compliance requirements. The letter explicitly defines the scope of due diligence services, professional fees, timelines, and deliverables while ensuring compliance with Philippine regulations, including the Civil Code, Securities Regulation Code, and Data Privacy Act. It serves as the primary agreement governing the relationship between the professional services provider and the client, establishing clear expectations and protecting both parties' interests throughout the due diligence process.
