About this Gig
Thinking of court action in the UK? You MUST send a Letter Before Claim first.
Failure to send a Civil Procedure Rules (CPR) compliant Letter Before Claim (LBC) can lead to court sanctions, even if you win your case. Don't risk it.
As a practicing UK solicitor (SRA ID 375941), I will draft a meticulous, fully compliant Letter Before Claim for you. My draft will meet the pre-action conduct requirements, setting out your case clearly and putting you in the strongest possible position before litigation begins. This is not just a letter; it's a critical strategic document.
This gig is for you if:
- Your initial demands have been ignored.
- You are preparing to issue a claim in the County Court.
- You need to show the court you have acted reasonably.
My draft Letter Before Claim will:
- Provide a clear summary of the facts.
- State what you are claiming and why.
- List key documents.
- Propose a resolution and set a firm deadline for response.
DISCLAIMER: This is a drafting service only. I do not provide legal advice or representation. The draft is for you to issue.

FAQ
Why is a Letter Before Claim so important?
It's a mandatory pre-court step under UK Civil Procedure Rules. Failure to comply can result in financial penalties from the court.
How is this different from a simple Demand Letter?
A Demand Letter is a request. This Letter Before Claim is a formal pre-litigation document that outlines your entire case and explicitly warns of court action.
Will you act for me in court?
No. This service is strictly limited to drafting the Letter Before Claim. I cannot represent you or file documents on your behalf.
What happens after I send the letter?
The other party has a set period (usually 14 or 30 days) to respond, which will determine your next steps (negotiation, mediation, or issuing a court claim).
What information do I need to provide?
You will need a detailed chronology of events, a calculation of the money claimed, and copies of all key documents (contracts, invoices, emails).
Is this suitable for the Small Claims Track?
Yes, this is perfect for small claims, where legal costs are not typically recoverable, making this a very cost-effective way to get professional help.
What if my claim is not for money?
This service can be adapted for non-money claims (e.g., return of goods), but please message me first to discuss complexity.
Does this cover specific Pre-Action Protocols?
This gig is for general CPR pre-action conduct. If your dispute falls under a specific Protocol (e.g., Professional Negligence), please see my specialised PAP gig.
Are you qualified to draft this?
Absolutely. As a practicing UK solicitor, I work with the Civil Procedure Rules daily and am an expert in drafting compliant pre-action correspondence.
What if they ignore the letter?
Their failure to respond can be brought to the court's attention, which will reflect poorly on them and strengthen your position.
