Engagement letters are typically created and signed at the beginning of a client relationship, though they may be reviewed, updated, and signed at regular intervals (often annually) for long-term relationships. New engagement letters may also be created for an existing client if the scope of work changes.
Who Prepares a Letter of Engagement? An engagement letter is drafted by the company rendering the service, often with the help of a lawyer. It is than presented to the client, and both parties must sign in order for it to be legally binding.
Engagement letters set the terms of the agreement between two parties and include details such as the scope, fees, and responsibilities, among others. Some of the benefits of engagement letters are that they are legally binding documents, they reduce misunderstandings, and they set clear expectations.
Engagement refers to a promise or agreement between two parties. It can be a contract where both parties make promises to each other. It can also refer to the period after a couple agrees to get married but before they actually do.
The Notice includes the Engagement Letter as a potential executory contract that is subject to assumption and assignment by the Debtors.
