It wasn't clear at all my question, but eventually I deduced that teh kegal lketter was in fact ADDRESSED to the MAYOR, hence the title SENYOR slap in the middle of the page, as an honorific salutation. I finally translated it as HONOURABLE MAYOR

Attorney of Record. Mr. or Mrs.


Explanation:
Okay it is me one more time.... This is a challenging one (I love it)
Looking again at the context I read...
,... in her capacity as the empowered Legal Representative of the Company, como mejor proceda, DECLARES:

It seems to be the lawyer or legal representative. Some ideas below:

Abogado de record ( PR) attorney of record.
You can also use:
Attorney at Law: Procurador judicial.
Attorney in fact: procurador
Attorney of record: abogado que consta.

Well, I'm sure about all the other ones, but this is a tittle.... of course do not forget to put the title Mr or Mrs. in front of the name, I have not changed my mind about that one Senyor is Mister.
