Demand Letter Client Intake

Purpose

Drafting is downstream. The value is before writing — forcing the questions a careless letter would skip. Leverage, best alternative, downside tolerance, confidentiality filters, actual audience. A demand letter sent before thinking through those is worse than no letter at all.

Load Context

~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal-zh/litigation-legal/CLAUDE.md → demand letter practice.

Client Intake

Core — always ask (8 questions)

2. Parties

Sender: our company (specify the specific entity if there are multiple entities)
Recipient: opposing party — name, entity, address
Recipient audience: who actually reads it (legal? CEO? individual?)
Relationship: 客户 | 供应商 | 前员工 | 竞争对手 | 第三方 | 其他

3. Triggering Event

What happened and when (dates matter — statute of limitations, notice periods)
Available evidence (contracts, emails, records, witnesses)

4. Legal/Contractual Basis

Which provisions — point to specific contract clauses if applicable
Governing law (jurisdiction, choice-of-law clause)
Statutes and regulations relied on (placeholders are fine — the draft will flag [引用：___]）

5. Desired Outcome

Specific demands. Not "resolve" — pay X yuan by date Y; stop Z specific activity; rectify within N days; return specific property.
If there are multiple demands, rank them (primary vs alternative)

6. Deadlines

External deadlines driving this (statute of limitations, continuing-harm window, business events)
Compliance period required by the letter

7. Prior Communications

Has this matter already been raised informally? When, by whom, and in what form?
Any response so far?
Why is escalation to a demand letter happening now?

8. Distribution

Method of service
Signatory
CC — internal stakeholders

Strategy — ask when substantively important or `--full` .

9. Leverage and Best Alternative

What gives us negotiating power (contractual rights, factual leverage, reputation, business)
What if they refuse — are we prepared to litigate?
What might their best alternative be

10. Downside Tolerance

Reputational risk if this becomes public
Precedent risk — does this letter set a pattern that affects other matters?
Regulatory/disclosure implications

11. Tone and posture

Relationship-preserving / restrained / aggressive — depends on the relationship, the amount, and the likelihood of litigation

12. Confidentiality filter

What from our internal analysis must not appear in the letter?
A single poorly worded sentence can constitute an admission. Make clear what stays out.

13. Risk of admissions and waivers

Does the letter contain anything the other side could later characterize as an admission of fact or liability?
Has any right been waived without a reservation of rights?
