We are eternally grateful to Ms Van der Leyen and the magnificent [[legal eagle|legal eagles]] in the employ of Astrazeneca for making plain the torture we commercial lawyers endure — torture of prose, patience, and common sense — in the process of birthing commercial legal agreements. They have, too, opened up a new face in the rock-face of epistemological doubt that besets all we learned friends. You would think, after all this the mountain was tamed, didn’t you? This is like a ''direttissima'', a previously hidden chute, a traverse of the gods, we hope, surely exit cracks leading to the summit of Mount Certainty and not a death bivouac. | {{a|plainenglish|}}We are eternally grateful to Ms Van der Leyen and the magnificent [[legal eagle|legal eagles]] in the employ of Astrazeneca for making plain the torture we commercial lawyers endure — torture of prose, patience, and common sense — in the process of birthing commercial legal agreements.

We have all heard of “[[best efforts]]”: you must pull out all the stops. It must be a blinder. You must leave everything on the pitch. We have all heard of “[[reasonable endeavours]]”. It is a softer commitment. It admits of weakness and human frailty, but at least requires a jolly good old go. | We have all heard of “[[best efforts]]”: you must pull out all the stops.
