Retainer Agreement for Agencies
About this document
An agreement for an agency (or senior freelancer) that provides ongoing services each month for a fixed fee, in return for a set allocation of hours or credits. It deals with the issues that sour retainers: unused time, requests that do not fit, work spilling over, and how either side can step back.
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.
