English to French translations [PRO]
Law/Patents - Law: Contract(s)
English term or phrase: servants
Comment traduire ce terme dans la phrase suivante extraite d'un contrat : "The company X hereby waive all rights of recourse against the company Y, its directors, employees, officers, servants and agents." Pour l'instant j'ai traduit ainsi ".... ses administrateurs, employés, mandataires, mandants??? et agents". Merci.

Explanation:
Oddly enough, exactly this has come up at least once before in FR > EN, and I believe this was the term used. I can only invite you to check the archives in the other language pair, and see if the definitions given then are any help to you.
