English term

local counsel

English to Portuguese Law/Patents Law (general)
It is evident that XYZ was in charge of the main aspects of the Chilean case. He referred to the Chilean lawyers as his “local counsel.” They often referred to him as the “cabeza,” or head, of the team. From the time the case was filed in OOO until at least quite recently, and perhaps even until today, XYZ has supervised the Chilean legal team, set deadlines, was involved in setting the lawyers’ salaries, reviewed their court filings, directed the legal strategy, and coordinated the work between the lawyers in Chile and the scientists, experts, lawyers, litigation funders, politicians, and media consultants throughout the world.

Consultor jurídico (local)

"Serving as local counsel during litigation is a very common practice. Local counsel usually has lesser contact with the client. Most attorneys interpret “local counsel” to mean having only a supporting or behind the scenes role."

"Definitions of local counsel
one or more lawyers who practice in a particular area and have been hired by another lawyer, or law firm, who does not practice in that area to handle matters for them"

conselho local / assessores locais

He uses his lawyers as a group, so probably "conselho local" could be used as a singular name for this entity.

representante legal local/consultor jurídico local

Local Counsel can mean many things, just as “Of Counsel” has no single definition. Sometimes, when managing a case in a distant or foreign jurisdiction, client’s chosen counsel will engage a local lawyer to assist in making sure that the matter proceeds in accordance with local practice and rules. This is generally done with direct client involvement, permission and agreement.

Local Counsel can also mean a lawyer hired, on an ad hoc basis, to handle an appearance or hearing, to eliminate the need for the lead lawyer to travel, so-called “appearance counsel.”

Do que entendi são "advogados" de que se está a falar, um advogado é um representante legal de um cliente.
Pode traduzir o termo no plural, dependendo de como está a traduzir.
