Asker: Nu stiu ce sa zic, voi mai intreba si in alte locuri. In alta intrebare de azi retainer e un fel de avocat sau chiar o persoana care se ingrijeste, care gestioneaza... Multumesc, dar hai sa mai asteptam un pic. Ai un exemplu, Emina, te rog?

Asker: perfect, e grozav voi da doua linkuri suplimentare, sa ne infratim pe net cu late forumuri, nu?
