The Engagement Agreement serves as a fundamental legal instrument in Pakistani business practice for formalizing professional service relationships. It is commonly used when a service provider (whether a company, firm, or individual consultant) agrees to provide specific professional services to a client. The agreement encompasses essential elements required under Pakistani law, particularly the Contract Act 1872, while incorporating modern commercial practices. This document typically includes detailed provisions about service scope, deliverables, payment terms, confidentiality obligations, and performance standards. It's particularly crucial in protecting both parties' interests by clearly defining their rights, responsibilities, and expectations while ensuring compliance with Pakistani legal requirements regarding contract formation, enforcement, and dispute resolution.
