FAQ

A retainer agreement is a work-for-hire contract. It falls between a one-off contract and permanent employment, which may be full-time or part-time. Its distinguishing feature is that the client or customer pays in advance for professional work to be specified later.

The retainer is really like a deposit. When you make that type of deposit, you will secure it as a prepaid expense on the balance sheet.

Retainer agreements (also referred to as representation agreements) are a type of compensation agreement with lawyers either for reserving their employment or as compensation for future services. Also inside the agreement are details on the scope and procedure for the representation.

Furthermore, with a retainer agreement, agencies can offer their services at discounted prices to improve client retention. Exactly how much depends on the type of retainer you offer—which we will discuss further.
