typical sentence in these articles:
Niettemin, heeft de algemene vergadering van ***vennoten*** steeds het recht een commissaris te benoemen en dit ongeacht de wettelijke criteria. Indien geen commissaris werd benoemd kan iedere ***vennoot*** zich laten vertegenwoordigen door een accountant.
I get the feeling that in most of this context vennoot is shareholder rather than partner. Please advise.
Some haste is required (next couple of hours) but grading will be after 24 hours
Thanks in advance

shareholder
Vandale gives aandeelhouder as a synonym of vennoot, many Belgian websites seem to agree.

associate
Can't you use this?
Note from asker:
| Not really, Northstar confirms my opinion that it should be shareholder in the context. Also associate refers to an affiliated company in IFRS, which would lead to a lot of confusion. |
