Guide only — this matter needs a solicitor. Under Irish law this work must be carried out by a solicitor, so it is not sold on this site. The information below explains what is involved so you can brief a solicitor with confidence.
OnlineLegalServices.ie is operated by Plus Promotions Limited, which is not a solicitor’s practice and does not give legal advice. To instruct a regulated practice, use the Law Society of Ireland’s Find a Solicitor directory.
A cease and desist response consultation is a 30-minute video call with a solicitor after the other side has responded to your cease and desist letter. The other side has responded, so what now? Work of this kind is carried out by a solicitor regulated by the Law Society of Ireland. We are not a solicitor’s practice and do not provide it — to instruct a solicitor, use the Law Society of Ireland’s Find a Solicitor directory. A short written summary of the advice is included after the call.
If appropriate, the allotted time will instead be given to answering your questions by email. Deciding on the right next step early can save time and cost, and helps you avoid escalating a dispute that could be resolved.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a cease and desist response consultation cost?
This page is a free guide — nothing on it is for sale. Solicitors set their own fees for this work and must give you a written costs estimate (a section 150 letter) before starting. Get quotes through the Law Society of Ireland’s Find a Solicitor directory.
What should I do if the other side rejects my cease and desist letter?
Your options usually range from standing firm, to negotiating a settlement, to escalating the matter. The right choice depends on the strength of your position and your goals.
What should I bring to the consultation?
Bring your original letter, the response and any related documents or correspondence, so the solicitor can review everything with you.
