Re: Retainer Agreement for______________.

Gentlemen:

I refer to our earlier discussion on ____ January 2018 and I confirm that I shall be
pleased to act as retained attorney for your company effective ________________.

1. CORPORATE

The corporate retainer agreement with ________________________. shall cover the


following services: (i) office consultations; (ii) contract review; (iii) preparation and
notarization of simple or ordinary contracts or agreements that are not preceded by
negotiations; (iv) preparation of opinions or advice on matters that do not require
gathering of information or documents outside the office; (v) keeping clients informed of
recent legislation, government rules and regulations, rulings of government agencies and
court decisions which might be of interest to your companies; and (vi) attending meetings
with the directors. However, the filing of the General Information Sheet and Financial
Statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission shall be the responsibility of
the client unless my assistance is specifically requested.

The corporate retainer fee shall be fixed at Php ________ per month, subject to
adjustment after a review of the extent and volume of retainer-covered services rendered
over a period of at least six (6) months.

2. LITIGATION

The handling of litigation in connection with civil and criminal cases, tax, labor,
and immigration cases shall cover the following services: (i) drafting of pleadings such as,
complaint or petition, answer, reply, rejoinder, motions, position paper or memorandum,
etc.; and (ii) attendance at hearings or conferences, upon the instructions of _____________

The monthly retainer fee for each case referred to the undersigned counsel shall
be at Php __________. ________________, Inc. acknowledge that the monthly retainer fee
shall be paid, regardless of any activity that may arise in relation to each case.

In extraordinary cases when work or pleadings have to be done on a case outside


of the usual pleadings or work as mentioned above, we can agree on a reasonable
additional fee, which may be based on time billing.

3. OTHER MATTERS

For matters other than those mentioned above such as, (i) special projects; (ii) pre-
litigation negotiations, which may include the preparation and sending out of cease and
desist or demand letters; (iii) transactions or opinions requiring extensive study; and (iv)
2

similar other matters, the services rendered shall be billed based on time. Once the matter
ripens into actual litigation, the monthly retainer fee in number 2 above shall apply.

Out of pocket expenses or disbursements (filing fees, summons fees, sheriff’s fees,
transportation expenses, cost of transcripts of hearings, cost of photocopies, etc.) for
services rendered in handling litigation, corporate and other matters are not covered by
the retainer agreement, and shall be billed separately. I may advance disbursements and
other out-of-pocket expenses (filing fees, summons fees, sheriff’s fees, transportation
expenses, cost of transcripts of hearings, cost of photocopies, etc.) but I will bill you
monthly for reimbursement. In case the expected disbursement is substantial, I may
request you to advance the necessary funds to cover it.

This retainer agreement may be terminated upon notice by either party given at
least thirty (30) days before the desired date of effectivity of the termination.

If you find the foregoing terms and conditions acceptable, kindly indicate your
conformity by signing on the space provided below, and return to me a copy of this letter-
agreement.

Yours faithfully,

With our Conformity:
