    Responding to Demand Letters: Tone and Substance (Live Replay from February 10, 2022)

    • Speakers

    Thank you

    Thank you for joining us today.

    Description

    Responding to a demand letter is as tricky as issuing a demanding letter. There are issues of getting the substance right and getting the tone right.

    • How time do you spend researching the law and laying out your case?
    • How much do you disclose about your favorable facts?
    • Is your goal settlement and, if so, how does that impact the tone of your letter?
    • Do you know enough about the letter writer and his or her client to gauge their likely reaction to your response? And when do you respond – right away, by any deadline given, or do you wait?

    These and many other questions are addressed in this practical discussion of the tradeoffs of responding to demand letters.

    • Goals – do you want settlement or to make it go away – or are you preparing for litigation?
    • Law – how much do you research and push back?
    • Tone – are you assertive, making counter-demands, or conciliatory?
    • Facts – How much of what you know do you lay out?
    • Timing – responding right away, by a deadline in the demand, or later?
