If I use the phrase "hereinafter called" or "hereinafter referred to as" in a legal doc (and please let me know if there's any legal distinction between the two that I should know), MUST I always refer to the party or item by that reference for the remainder of the doc, or can I still also use the original name or term where that language feels appropriate?
I'm preparing a client waiver with "I, the undersigned (hereinafter called the "Client")..." Most places actually read best as "I understand...," "I agree...," etc. However, a few places do read best as "Client agrees..."
Do I ask for trouble if I mix and match, or if I use "hereinafter called..." and then only call it that a few times?
