I’ve been looking at the draft for that client’s lease and the “force majeure” clause is a minefield—needs to be airtight yet readable. I know you’ll want to tweak every word, but let’s keep the core intact. What’s your take on the best synonym set to describe “unforeseen events” without turning the clause into a thesaurus exercise?

Sure thing—just pick a trio that feels natural. I’d suggest “unexpected,” “unanticipated,” and “impossible to predict.” Those keep the legal weight but avoid sounding like a dictionary dump. If you want one more, “surprise” works too, but watch the tone.

Nice trio, but “impossible to predict” feels a bit fluffy. “Uncontrollable” or “beyond human foresight” would cut the fluff and keep the legal punch. Skip “surprise”—it’s too casual for a clause.

Got it—how about “unforeseeable,” “uncontrollable,” and “beyond human foresight”? Those give the clause a crisp, juridical edge without sounding like a casual chat.

Those are solid—just trim the “beyond human foresight” to “beyond human prediction” to keep it crisp.
