Award-Winning Team, Responsive Time Frames and Fixed-Fee Letters of Demand
A Letter of Demand will typically include:
- The amount that is owed
- How the amount is calculated (i.e. an unpaid invoice or monies owing pursuant to a contract)
- The due date for the payment– typically a short period of either 7 or 14 days
- A statement that legal proceedings may or will follow if the demands in the letter are ignored
Starting from just $450*, Gladwin Legal can provide you with a tailored Letter of Demand to resolve your issue quickly.
*A Letter of Demand will not be suitable for a $450* fixed fee quotation where the matter is complex, or there is voluminous documentation for us to review. In these situations, more involved discussion prior to issuing the letter will enable us to identify a more appropriate fixed-fee quotation and other potential actions or claims to include in the letter.

Letter of Demand Frequently Asked Questions
As a formal legal letter demanding action from a third party, the letter will outline the basis for your claim and set out the legal rights that are being infringed upon, as well as a time frame within which the other party must comply.
Receiving a formal letter from a lawyer is an effective way of letting the other party know that you are serious, and giving the impression that you intend to escalate the matter if it is not settled. It also gives the recipient one final chance to take action to resolve the matter.
A letter of demand is strongly recommended prior to initiating court proceedings because it enables you to comply with your obligation under the State and Federal civil procedure legislation to use reasonable endeavours to resolve the dispute. Sending a pre-litigation letter like a letter of demand achieves this purpose.
If no response is received or the response is unsatisfactory, the next step is to consider the prospects of success in issuing court proceedings. We would be happy to provide a fixed-fee quotation and advice regarding prospects of success, which may be done via teleconference to save on professional fees.
No, a lawyer is not strictly required to write a Letter of Demand. However, having a lawyer draft it can significantly strengthen your position. A lawyer ensures the letter is professionally crafted, precise, and compliant with legal standards, which can enhance its impact and improve the chances of a favourable response. Additionally, a legally drafted letter conveys the seriousness of your claim and can discourage disputes, helping to avoid the need for further legal action.
The letter will demand the desired outcome (e.g. payment of money or a written response) within 7 or 14 days (at your election).
