The Monthly Retainer Agreement is a crucial legal document used in the Philippines for establishing long-term professional service relationships. It is particularly valuable when clients require regular, ongoing access to professional services without the need to negotiate terms for each engagement. This agreement type, governed by Philippine law, typically includes detailed specifications of services, retainer fees, payment schedules, and service delivery standards. It's commonly used by professional service providers, consultants, and advisors who provide recurring services to businesses.
