Document background
The Retainer Contract serves as a fundamental legal document in Canadian professional service relationships, establishing a continuous engagement between service providers and their clients. This document is essential when parties wish to secure ongoing professional services with predictable fee arrangements and guaranteed service availability. The contract addresses key aspects required under Canadian federal and provincial laws, including service scope, payment terms, professional obligations, confidentiality, and termination rights. It's particularly valuable for businesses and professionals who require regular access to specialized services while maintaining compliance with Canadian professional regulations and consumer protection laws. The retainer model provides clients with priority access to services while giving service providers a stable revenue stream and clearer resource allocation capability.
