#  Responding to a Plaintiff Attorney’s Demand Letter

It is quite common for plaintiff’s attorneys to write a letter to a company, popularly called a “demand letter,” claiming the employer has violated some law, claiming astronomical damages, demanding the company preserve relevant data, and offering the “opportunity” for a settlement resolution. The theory behind such letter is to scare the employer and encourage the employer to negotiate a settlement favorable to the plaintiff, and to the plaintiff’s attorney. In recent times, the frequency of these demand letters has increased, possibly because plaintiff’s attorneys now often use AI and other methods to make their demand letters to look more sophisticated, and the like. Further complicating the situation is that plaintiff’s attorneys are setting up increasingly sophisticated and perhaps AI-related networks to learn about potential cases and make demands on more employers.

The strategy and tactics regarding responding to such demand letters vary. The purpose of this webinar is to educate the employer community on plaintiffs’ latest tactics in making such demands, the various methods of responding to such demand letters, and giving employers additional information and considerations in responding to these type situations.

This webinar will be conducted by Jim Wimberly and will offer plenty of time for discussion and answers to questions.
