What it's about
Lawyers' letters — a demand, a formal warning, a cease-and-desist undertaking, a damages, trademark or copyright matter — are the kind of post that most recipients sign or pay out of sheer intimidation. This is exactly where the new version comes in.
What's new
- Sender recognition: The analysis reliably detects whether the letter comes from an authorised law firm (letterhead, bar registration details), from a debt-collection agency or from a private individual. Debt-collection agencies are NOT treated as law firms.
- Power-imbalance warning: If the other side is represented by a lawyer and you are addressed as a consumer or small business, we display a note at the top: "A professionally drafted lawyer's letter is coming your way — please don't sign anything without a second opinion."
- Success assessment (defensibility score): An honest 0–100%. 80+ = the claim is shaky (limitation period, lack of standing, an overly broad cease-and-desist undertaking). 40–70 = a modification is realistic. <30 = the claim is likely to prevail.
- Arguments for and against: We explicitly list the arguments that speak in favour of the other side too — protecting you from launching a hopeless defence.
- Recommended response: A modified cease-and-desist undertaking, a reasoned rejection, a settlement or bringing in a lawyer — depending on the situation.
- Specific rule sets for demand, cease-and-desist, damages, trademark and copyright letters — each for Germany, Austria and Switzerland with the relevant national norms (the German BGB/UWG/MarkenG, Austria's ABGB/UWG, Switzerland's OR/UWG).
Who it's relevant for
Consumers, influencers, freelancers, SMEs and agencies who receive a lawyer's letter. Large firms count on recipients not fighting back — this feature gives you the factual basis you need to do exactly that.

AI is not a lawyer
The success assessment is an initial orientation — not legal advice for your specific case. For amounts in dispute of €25,000 or more, interim injunctions or trademark disputes, we refer you directly to specialist lawyers.
