Document background
The Standard Engagement Letter is a fundamental document used to establish and formalize professional service relationships in Saudi Arabia. It serves as the primary contract between service providers (such as consultants, advisors, or professional firms) and their clients, incorporating essential elements required under Saudi law and Sharia principles. This document is typically used at the commencement of a new professional engagement or when significantly modifying an existing service arrangement. The engagement letter outlines key aspects including scope of work, fee structures, timeline, deliverables, and terms of service, while ensuring compliance with Saudi Arabian regulatory requirements and business practices. It provides legal protection for both parties and serves as a reference point throughout the engagement period.
