Document background
The Expert Engagement Letter is a crucial document used when retaining professional experts for various purposes, including litigation support, technical assessments, or specialized consulting services in Hong Kong. This document is essential for establishing clear parameters of the expert's involvement, maintaining independence, and ensuring compliance with Hong Kong's legal requirements. It typically includes detailed provisions about the scope of expertise required, deliverables, timing, fees, confidentiality obligations, and intellectual property rights. The letter is particularly important in contexts where expert opinions may be relied upon for decision-making, dispute resolution, or regulatory compliance, and must be drafted to meet Hong Kong's specific legal requirements while protecting both parties' interests.
