Trust

[G Angel]

Oh dear. I must confess I missed the first episode, but sat down to watch yesterday evening. I am happy to see that the common transaction delayer of romantic liaison between vendor and purchaser has now been given the public coverage it deserves. This really does occur with a far greater frequency than the lay-person tends to realise. Also:

 

- a 'non-voting' director? Who has all the responsibilities and duties of a director, but no say in the running of the company? That's a quality last minute clause to drop in. And Stephen 'door-smasher' Robson where's Jerome Green no-Brainley refused to accept it?;

 

- sign one document and you're 'free'; if only ancillary documents did not exist...

 

- gorgeous blond trainees with the legal knowledge of a mature Lord Denning (RIP). Sure.

 

- deals completing in daylight hours?

 

- analogies between companies and families?

 

Lesson # 1: it's dangerous to fall asleep in your office.

 

I guess my role is most like This Life's Anna - experienced associate who claims 'all hell has broken loose' when a 3(!) page fax of piddling amendments comes through at the last minute, but can spot the romantic difficulties hampering a deal at the drop of a hat...

am I really missing something here?

 

BBC 2 had an informative programme on a subject that affects us all,

has society come to this when the lure of Surname first name has a bigger appeal

 

oh well here's my 2nd pint of the day...

Hi GA.

 

I wandered from this Board on to the Non League Laughter Pub Page or something like that. [Obviously another operating division of Canvey Island Inc.] and someone had posted a string of the witticisms of Stephen Wright.

 

One is:

 

"99% of lawyers give the rest a bad name."

 

Totally unjustified , in my view.

 

That documentary, though. Brilliant. The way those Corporate Lawyers close the deals. Clients are putty in their hands, that much I knew, of course, and the calibre of their grads. Excellent.

 

It must be really exciting.
