Document background
The Client Disengagement Letter is a crucial document used when a professional service provider needs to formally terminate their relationship with a client in the Australian jurisdiction. This document becomes necessary in various situations, including when there are irreconcilable differences, conflicts of interest, non-payment of fees, or when the service provider can no longer meet the client's needs. The letter serves multiple purposes: it clearly documents the termination decision, sets out the timeline for disengagement, addresses outstanding matters and fees, outlines document handling procedures, and provides guidance for transition to alternative service providers. Operating under Australian law, the document must comply with professional standards, consumer protection legislation, and industry-specific regulations while maintaining professional courtesy and protecting both parties' interests.
