Despite its archaic ring, 'hereunder' remains a staple in modern legal language, appearing in nearly 95% of corporate contracts analyzed in a 2021 study by the International Association of Contract and Commercial Management, making it a surprisingly resilient holdover from medieval English that continues to shape how we formalize agreements today.
