What is a Retainer Agreement?

A Retainer Agreement is a work-for-hire contract where the client or service recipient pays a service provider or contractor in advance for work which will be determined later. Before the service provider does any work, the client and service provider agree upon the fee which will be paid in advance and the type of services which will be rendered. The service provider is not an employee of the client, but is instead a Service Provider.
