Law/Patents - Law (general) / Unlimited Power of Attorney
Spanish term or phrase: que considere a bien
Buenas tardes,

Estoy traduciendo un poder generalisimo (unlimited power of attorney), y me gustaría confirmar mi traducción de una expresión en una cláusula del poder.

A continuación el texto:

El agente podrá otorgar en nombre y representación de los mandantes, Poderes de Administración, Generales o Especiales y Generales Judiciales, **a las personas que considere a bien**.


The agent/attorney-in-fact may grant, in the name, place and stead of the principals any power of attorney for management functions ... **to the persons the agent deems appropriate**.

Una vez más, agradezco todos sus aportes.

Saludos,
Manuel Aburto

English translation:such persons as the latter sees fit / may deem appropriate
Explanation:
again to virtual oblivion, the subjunctive mood is - literally - fittingly captured by a 'such .. as' locution - as we know from Anglo-Am. legislative including policing statutes: self-defenc/se etc. 'using such force as is reasonable -> now commonly: proportionate'.

  -> Thanks & moltes gràcies Andy - a good one! QED using Harrap's listed tenses, I - all of 50 years ago - won a 100 pesetas bet with a stubborn ENG Barrister-cum-impromptu 'abogado de empresa' at our Madrid bufete de abogados that the future subj. existed.
agree  María López-Contreras Conde: may deem appropriate

  -> Gracias and thanks, Maria1 Our Central London Notarial translation office certainly used to prefer the locution with *may* as expressing some uncertainty or doubt.
neutral  philgoddard: It's not 'the latter', ie the principals, it's the agent.

  -> Indeed - really the former, but I was out to dodge the gender gap: he, she or it.
disagree  AllegroTrans: It isn't "the latter", unless you completely twist the sentence around
