Key point 1
A cease-and-desist letter can be useful, but it can also escalate a dispute. The letter should be accurate, evidence-backed, and proportionate.
Key point 2
Templates may fit simple harassment, payment, or infringement notices, but lawyer drafting is safer for defamation, intellectual property, business disputes, employment, threats, or high-value claims.
Key point 3
Do not exaggerate legal claims or threaten action you are not prepared to take.
