Ending a Client Relationship – Notice, Handover and Final Account Letters
About this document
Sometimes a client relationship needs to end – because the client does not pay, the work no longer fits, or you are changing direction. Doing it professionally protects your reputation and makes sure you get paid for work done and hand over properly. These letters cover the common situations.
The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.
Our templates are professionally structured starting points for UK businesses, not legal advice. For anything complex, unusual or high-value, have your final version checked by a solicitor.
