French to English translations [PRO]
Law/Patents - Law: Contract(s) / Legal contract, confidentiality undertaking (Canada)
French term or phrase: tous les gestes utiles et nécessaires
In a confidentiality agreement:
XXX s’engage à poser tous les gestes utiles et nécessaire.... afin de donner plein effet aux cessions et renonciations

In Canada.
I don't find much in English for "useful and necessary", is anyone familiar with a standard legal clause for this?

'... to do any deeds... acts and things as effectually as the Company itself could do...' Powers of Attorney, English precedents, § 12-86, Brooke's Notary.
