Client Engagement Agreement
legal_client_v0 · v0 · ·
A small-firm engagement packet: the client reviews the scope of representation, fee terms, and confidentiality boundaries, acknowledges them, and walks away with a verifiable receipt — while the engagement letter itself never leaves the firm.
This packet records that the client reviewed and acknowledged the engagement terms summarized here. It produces a local NightSign receipt and does not claim notarization, legal identity verification, or Midnight anchoring.
Engagement terms summarized
01 · Scope of representation
The firm represents the client in the matter described in the engagement letter. Work outside that scope requires a new agreement.
02 · Fees and billing
The client acknowledges the fee structure and billing cadence described in the engagement letter, including how any retainer is handled.
03 · Confidentiality
Communications are protected by attorney-client privilege. NightSign never receives the engagement letter itself — only this packet's acknowledgment receipt.
04 · Ending the engagement
Either party may end the engagement as the letter describes; the client remains responsible for fees incurred to that point.
