Cease and desist letter
templateA formal letter demanding that the recipient stop a specific activity — such as harassment, defamation, or IP infringement — before further action is considered. Distinct from a payment demand letter, which asks for money owed.
Good fit for
- +Formally documenting a demand to stop specific conduct before considering further steps
- +Creating a dated record that the recipient was put on notice
Not ideal for
- −Demanding payment of a specific amount owed — use the consumer demand letter for that
- −Situations needing an immediate court order (e.g. active harm) — contact a lawyer directly rather than relying on a letter alone

Before you start. Nomos provides general information and document templates. It isn't a law firm, doesn't give legal advice, and nothing here tells you what to do in your own situation. Unless a template shows a "Reviewed by" badge, it hasn't been reviewed by a lawyer. Have a licensed attorney in your jurisdiction review any document before you rely on or sign it.
