German term or phrase: fuer und gegen sich wirksam werden zu lassen
A peice of legal jargon from the articles of partnership of a company.
context:
Auch darf der Gessellschafter in dem Gegenstand des Unternehmens der Gessellschaft bildenden Geschaeftsbereich weder Geschaefte fuer eigene Rechnung abschliessen noch sich hieran beteiligen. Kommen Geschaeftsabschluesse der bezeichneten Art gleichwohl auf Veranlassung eines Gesellschafters mit diesem zustande, gelten diese als mit der Gesellschaft abgeschlossen, falls die Gessellschaft hierueber einen entsprechenden Beschluss fasst. Als solche hat der Gesellschafter sie alsdann fuer und gegen sich wirksam werden zu lassen.

If anyone can help me here, I would be very grateful.

Thanks for your reply. I can, in fact, grasp all of these points. What I can't, from a logical point of view, is understand how a decision can act both in somebody's favour and against them at the same time. Anyhow, it is not up to me to actually make sense of the agreement.

"to take effect in his favour or against him"


Explanation:
It means basically that the partner can't do any private work on company time or premises, and if he made any deals anyway, they will be taken as made in the name of the company, if the company agrees. In that case, the partner (who originally tried to make the deal privately) is bound by the arrangement with the company. This is all a bit convaluted; you'll have to supply the proper "legalese" yourself.

Explanation:
For what it's worth: AltaVista (German:) "für und gegen sich": 13 pages found. "Für und gegen sich wirksam" No pages found. "für und gegen sich gelten [lassen]" 6 pages found. ---Maybe some of these can shed some more light on your can of words.
