An engagement letter is similar to a contract but generally shorter and less formal. However, it is equally binding to both parties.
1. As noted above, a retainer agreement is a letter of engagement countersigned by both the attorney and the client, and contains all the elements that letters of engagement must contain.
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.
Finally, a special purpose retainer is “present payment to the lawyer in exchange for the commitment to provide legal services in the future and may be used only when necessary to accomplish some purpose for the client that cannot be accomplished by using a security retainer.”
This is a legal contract between the law firm and the client setting forth the terms of the legal services to be provided and how the client will be charged for the services.

Retention Letter means a document held to maintain net economic interest significantly, updated by various parties from time to time.
