Online Legal Notice

Let an experienced lawyer professionally draft a legal notice you need and serve it to the defaulting party. For a fixed price, the lawyer you hire will discuss with you the situation, examine the facts relating to it, advise you on possible legal implications, and do the needful to draft a required legal notice and serve it to your opponent.

Correctly drafted and timely served legal notice considerably increases chances of dispute resolution on a pre-litigation stage and prospects of favourable outcomes in case of further litigation. The most common types of legal notices include (but not limited to):

- Outstanding debt claim
- Breach of a commercial contract
- Infringement of intellectual property rights
- Employment termination

This service is right for you if you would like to formally notify your opponent (i.e. the defaulting party in a contract) about your lawful rights and the legal consequences in the event your legitimate demands are not fulfilled.

The advice session can be held in the form of a telephone call, personal or online meeting.

Disclaimer

Issuing a legal notice against your opponent does not ensure a favourable outcome or complete eradication of any disputes between you and the opposite party. This is just an effort to inform the other party about your lawful rights and warn them about the legal consequences involved.

For most people, this service covers the entire process of getting a professionally drafted legal notice served to their opponent. However, if your case requires additional work – for example, you would like your lawyer to negotiate the settlement with the opposite party – you can talk to the attorney about hiring them for extra work.
