#43 That Doesn’t Seem Very Fair
One time, the opposing counsel was forcefully insisting that it was ridiculous for me to expect a certain provision in a contract we were negotiating. I pointed out that this provision was standard in his own firm’s contract forms, as I knew from several prior transactions I’d worked on across from them. Pretty exciting stuff. He took it in stride and said (jokingly), “Well, of course, it’s fine when we ask for it.”
