Portuguese term

a quatro mãos

Portuguese to English Other Idioms / Maxims / Sayings
Esperamos receber uma proposta da empresa X . Os devidos ajustes serão executados a 4 mãos.

Ou seja, trata-se de fazer algo em conjunto. Alguém conhece a expressão equivalente a "a quatro mãos"? Sei que existe four-hand (ou four-handed, inclusive para peças musicais), mas não saberia se pode ser aplicado em um texto como o texto acima. GRATA!

in collaboration by both parties

Como não são menciondados grupos e trata-se de uma colaboração entre duas pessoas/partes, sugiro a adaptação "colaboração de ambas as partes".
