Escalation Path Advisor

Step 4 of 4

Based on your breach severity assessment, here are your escalation options from least to most aggressive.

1. Informal Resolution
Start with direct communication. Send a professional letter demanding they cease the breach, return/destroy materials, and provide written confirmation of compliance.
1-2 weeks Minimal cost Recommended first step
2. Mediation
A neutral third-party mediator helps both parties reach a voluntary agreement. Non-binding but often effective for business disputes where relationships matter.
2-4 weeks $2,000-$10,000 Relationship-preserving
3. Arbitration
Check your NDA: Many NDAs require arbitration before litigation. A private arbitrator hears evidence and issues a binding decision.
2-6 months $10,000-$50,000 Private & confidential
4. Litigation
File a lawsuit in civil court. Pursue injunctive relief (emergency order to stop the breach) and/or monetary damages. Most powerful option but also most expensive and time-consuming.
1-3 years $50,000-$500,000+ Public record
