Demand Letter

A demand letter is a formal written communication that asserts a legal claim or right and demands specific action from the recipient. It is typically sent by an individual or their attorney to another party who is alleged to have violated their rights or breached a contract. The letter outlines the nature of the claim, the relevant facts and legal principles, and the consequences of failing to comply with the demand. Demand letters are often used as a precursor to filing a lawsuit, to put the recipient on notice of the claim and to seek a resolution without court intervention. They should be clear, concise, and professional in tone, and should include a deadline for response.
