Draft a demand letter or a compromise offer
Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- Draft the letter from the contract clause, the amount and the dates the lawyer supplies. Mark any sentence that offers a compromise. Invent no fact and no citation.
- What the lawyer must review
- The lawyer reads every sentence before the letter is sent. Rule 408 excludes, when offered to prove the validity or amount of a disputed claim, furnishing or offering valuable consideration in compromising the claim, and conduct or a statement made during compromise negotiations, with the exceptions the rule states. The lawyer decides whether the letter is a compromise offer and how it is marked. A citation the lawyer has not opened is removed. Formal Opinion 512 and Rule 1.1 require that verification. Do not put the client's strategy into a public tool (Rule 1.6).
