How do you say it? [[Jimzler|However you like, basically]]. The GMSLA is an agreement once drafted by a [[magic circle law firm]] but whose carriage nowadays is almost exclusively handled by inhouse lawyers and negotiators, to the point where seeking external advice on what a given provision means is a bad idea, because private practice lawyers will have far less of a clue — having likely never looked at a {{gmsla}} than will their inhouse clients who ask the question. This won’t stop them asking, of course.
How do you say it? [[Jimzler|However you like, basically]].  
The {{gmsla}} is an agreement once drafted by a [[magic circle law firm]] but whose carriage nowadays is almost exclusively handled by [[inhouse lawyer]]s and [[negotiator]]s, to the point where seeking external advice on what a given provision means is a bad idea, because [[private practice lawyer]]s will have far less of a clue — having likely never looked at a {{gmsla}} than will their inhouse clients who ask the question. They will be baffled by the terminology — is it a loan or isn’t it? — the fact that failing to redeliver securities or collateral is ''de rigueur'' and does not usually sifnify the [[end of the world as we know it]], that there should really not be damages for consequential losses and countless other trifling, [[tedious]] things.
 
This won’t stop the inhouse clients asking, of course, and indeed they are known to have the bright idea of outsourcing GMSLA negotiations to outside law firms. This is a disaster. Don’t ''do'' it, folks.
