Demand Letters

Demand letters grounded in the agreement and evidence

An effective demand identifies the legal basis, the obligation, the breach, what must now happen and the consequence of non-compliance.

What clients usually ask

Will a demand guarantee payment?

No. A demand records the position and required response, but further negotiation or proceedings may still be needed.

The usual first steps

  1. Review the agreement, invoices and correspondence.
  2. State the breach, remedy and response date accurately.
  3. Assess the response and next enforcement step.

What to bring

Bring the agreement, court papers, notices, messages, dates and records that show what happened. Preserve original documents and electronic evidence without altering them.
