This is important, learn as much as you can about them, what legitimate claims they may have to it with trademarked use in a given category. Does the name have other meanings or applications, is it a more generic word/name or more specific to just them?
They have their attorney openly involved at this early stage, so understand there is a cost of acquisition point where it makes sense to pay you and get it quickly and save some money in attorney fees if they do have the trademark rights to it. If you go too high, and they understand the process to get it from you through ICANN/Registrar and that price is higher than the cost to have the attorney go after the name then you lose out.
It all comes down to the name, their legitimate right to it potentially through a trademark and how generic or specific the name is as to where your bargaining power is.
