An Overview

A Legal Notice is a formal written communication that is typically sent by one party to another, outlining a legal claim or a request for a specific action or resolution. It serves as an official warning and is often a prerequisite before taking legal action. Legal notices are commonly used to address issues related to contracts, disputes, non-payment, breach of agreement, and other legal matters. Sending a legal notice is an important step to formally notify the opposing party about your intentions and legal rights, giving them an opportunity to respond or rectify the situation before further legal proceedings are initiated.
