Overview of the Demand Letter Template

By way of background, a demand letter is a formal piece of correspondence that demands a particular action from the recipient. A demand letter may call for the recipient to take a particular action, or halt a particular action.

The general purpose of a demand letter is to indicate to the recipient that there is a legal dispute or issue that calls for action and, in the event the demand letter is ignored and the issue is not remedied, you are prepared to escalate the matter to litigation. A demand letter can also serve as an opening salvo for legal negotiation between the parties.
