a cease & desist letter that makes it stop.
One fixed price, upfront. Someone's copying your work, poaching your people, using your name, or trashing your business — a C&D from a law firm ends most of it without a lawsuit. That's the entire point of the letter.

what a c&d actually does
It puts the other side on formal, documented notice — from a named law firm — that the behavior stops now or the next step is real. Most recipients stop, because a lawsuit costs them far more than whatever they were doing. Attorney-drafted, attorney-signed, sent on our letterhead, with your approval before it goes out.
what it covers
Copycats and IP misuse. Ex-employees violating non-competes or poaching your team. Defamation and review-bombing. Harassment of your business or people. Someone trading on your name. If the behavior should stop, the letter is usually the fastest, cheapest way to stop it.
why it comes from us
Every letter is reviewed and signed by our attorneys — including a former Kirkland & Ellis litigator. The other side's lawyer can tell the difference between a template and a firm that files.
Received one instead? Don't reply yet — start the intake and send it over. You'll get a plain-English read on how serious it really is, and a flat quote for the response if it needs one.
How much does a cease and desist letter cost?
At grep.law, $500 flat — drafting, attorney review, signature, and sending included, quoted in writing before we start. Hourly firms typically charge $1,000–$2,500 for the same letter.
Is a cease and desist letter legally binding?
No — it's a formal warning, not a court order. Its power is what it signals: documented notice, a named law firm, and a credible next step. That's why lawyer-signed letters get results templates don't.
What happens if they ignore the cease and desist?
The letter becomes evidence they were warned, which strengthens every next step — and we quote that next step at a flat price before anything happens. Most recipients don't ignore it.
Can I write my own cease and desist letter?
You can — and the recipient will know you did. A letter from a law firm carries the implicit next step that makes people stop. If your situation genuinely doesn't need a lawyer, we'll say so straight away.
