Justee's retainer agreement review tool analyzes ongoing service contracts for scope clarity, hour management fairness, overage rate reasonableness, and termination flexibility. The AI identifies risks including vague service definitions, use-it-or-lose-it hour policies, excessive overage rates, and restrictive termination terms. Justee provides suggested revisions based on professional services standards. Retainer agreements provide ongoing access to professional services for a fixed monthly fee. They benefit both parties with predictable income for providers and guaranteed availability for clients. Common issues include unclear scope leading to disputes, unfair hour rollover policies, and termination terms that lock clients into long commitments.

Powered by Justee AI • Free Retainer Agreement Analysis
Justee recently analyzed a monthly retainer agreement for media relations services for a PR consultant in Washington, DC with ongoing corporate clients.
Issue Found: The retainer was "use-it-or-lose-it" with no hour rollover, and the client had been paying for 20 hours monthly while only using 8, essentially subsidizing a 60% discount.
Justee Recommendation: We renegotiated to allow 50% rollover of unused hours (max 2 months accumulation) and added provisions for banking hours toward larger projects.
"Client shall pay the Monthly Retainer Fee regardless of actual hours utilized. Unused hours shall not carry forward to subsequent months."
"Up to 50% of unused Retainer Hours may roll forward to the following month, with a maximum accumulation of one month's hours. Accumulated hours may be applied to special projects with advance scheduling."
Why it matters: Strict use-it-or-lose-it retainers can feel like waste to clients, leading to relationship strain. Limited rollover provides flexibility while maintaining predictable revenue.
