Is an emailed cease and desist letter for trademark & copyright infringement legal? I have received an email from a legal counsel of the complainant company asking my client to cease and desist from infringement of their trademark & copyright. Should I respond to this cease and desist letter emailed to my client or should I wait to get one by by traditional certified mail?

Yes. This more than sufficient in view of Trimex International FZE Ltd Dubai versus Vedanta Aluminium Ltd; India
