Engagement Letter Template

A structured engagement letter in Word: scope, three fee structures to choose from, costs, trust, communication, termination and file retention, with drafting notes where state rules vary.

What's inside

  • Ten standard sections with bracketed placeholders
  • Hourly, contingency and flat-fee paragraphs (keep one)
  • Attorney-review framing throughout; not legal advice
