In what follows I assume you’re a [[good egg]]; the sort of person who means what he says, says what he means, and gives a legal covenant only in circumstances where he has an honest intention of carrying it out. If you’re not of that fibre, you have no place here. | {{a|negotiation|}}In what follows I assume you’re a [[good egg]]; the sort of person who means what he says, says what he means, and gives a legal covenant only in circumstances where he has an honest intention of carrying it out.

In [[good faith]] and in a [[commercially reasonable manner]] cuts the crap by promising (faintly) to unlock some negotiations and take much of the tedious line-by-line muck-raking out of the others. It only presents litigation risk to clients who don’t trust you, or whom you don't trust. In those cases your problem is not that you have a good faith obligation; it’s that you have a lousy client relationship. It hardly adversely affects litigation risk in any case: A dissatisfied client will take action, and they will argue an absence of good faith in any case. | In [[good faith]] and in a [[commercially reasonable manner]] cuts the crap by promising (faintly) to unlock some negotiations and take much of the tedious line-by-line muck-raking out of the others.
