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

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.
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

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,
