The Legal Retainer Agreement is a fundamental document used to establish a formal relationship between legal service providers and their clients in Saudi Arabia. This agreement is essential when engaging legal services on an ongoing basis and requires careful consideration of Saudi Arabian legal framework, including compliance with the Saudi Legal Practice Law and Sharia principles. The document typically covers comprehensive details about service scope, fee structures, professional obligations, and regulatory compliance requirements. It's particularly important for businesses and individuals seeking consistent legal support, as it provides clarity on the terms of engagement, ensures proper documentation of the attorney-client relationship, and establishes clear expectations for both parties while maintaining compliance with local legal and religious requirements.
