A statement only a private practice lawyer would say, usually in the context of a lack of time or resources. I.e., “Oh cripes that time line is hyper-aggressive, and this could all go totally pear-shaped. We don’t have time for a term-sheet; let’s just crack on and go straight to docs.”[1]

Look: if you are doing an NDA, maybe there is some sense in that — though none in engaging a private practice lawyer to do an NDA in the first place, of course. (What are you? Mad?)

In any situation where engaging external counsel does make sense, then dispensing with a termsheet is a charter for utter disaster.
