Cease & Desist Letter
A cease and desist letter is a formal legal letter from a lawyer demanding that the recipient immediately stop specific conduct — and warning of the legal consequences if they do not. Unlike a general demand letter, a cease and desist is specifically directed at stopping ongoing or threatened behaviour rather than recovering money. Common uses include copyright or trademark infringement, harassment or defamation, breach of confidentiality or non-compete obligations, and unauthorized use of intellectual property. A letter on law firm letterhead often achieves results that informal requests cannot.
