neutral  Jorge Rodrigues: Não entendi. Preposto, pelo menos no Brasil, é um representante legal. Preposto pode ser traduzido como "preferred"?

agree  Deborah do Carmo: I'd opt for legal representative Jorge, proxy is limited in some jurisdictions to a representative appointed to vote at company AGMs, so your second suggestion is more neutral and safer to use, since this is a letter rogatory + for a foreign authority
