English term or phrase: state-of-the-art (en este contexto)
Hola

me gustaría saber si se os ocurre cómo traducir este término en un contexto legal:

"XXX renders the Services according to the contractually agreed standards and in line with the state of the art at the time of conclusion of this Master Service Agreement"

Gracias por adelantado,

Spanish translation:prácticas actuales
Explanation:
I was inspired by some usages I saw on Linguee and picked this as the best option. "mejores prácticas" makes a stronger claim than "state of the art", as the English term means what is prevalent or predominant, and not necessarily what is best.

I also like 'técnicas actuales'. Good luck!

in line with the state-of-the-art (en este contexto)
de acuerdo con las mejores prácticas


Explanation:
O:
prácticas generalmente reconocdas/aceptadas

Me parece una manera un tanto rimbombante de expresar esta idea.

  -> Thank you, MPGS!

neutral  Tim Friese: Definitely not 'mejores' but I think 'prácticas generalmente reconocidas/aceptadas' works
1 hr
  -> I don’t think so, Tim. When, say, a company boasts of its “state-of -the-art technology,” it is in effect saying that “our technology is the very best currently available” and *not* that “we are offering the exact same technology as almost everyone else.”

agree  Sara Fairen: Las prácticas más aceptadas en ese momento

estado de la técnica


Explanation:
Aunque "estado de la cuestión" es correcto, si la traducción es para España, creo que lo más utilizado es "estado de la técnica". Ejemplo: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/ES/TXT/?uri=CELEX:52...

la tecnología mas moderna / lo último en tecnología / la última actualización tecnológica


Explanation:
Me baso en lo expresado como punto de discusión. Presumo, por la redacción, que es un acuerdo de servicio de algo relacionado con tecnología de redes o telecomunicaciones.

Tecnología de vanguardia / mas avanzada tecnología son sinónimos válidos.

XXX prestará los Servicios de acuerdo con los estándares establecidos contractualmente y en línea con [...] al momento de la finalización de este Acuerdo [General]/[Principal] de Servicio.

la tecnología más avanzada - la tecnología puntera - tecnología punta - de vanguardia (más actual)


Explanation:
Estoy totalmente de acuerdo con lo que anota Juan Gil.

Aporto opciones adicionales (para España), pero la idea es esa.

El enlace muestra un ejemplo:

WHEREAS, Provider recognizes its role in the operation and success of Customer, thus, Provider shall strive to provide the highest quality services and support at market leading rates, while exercising state of the art technical and physical security practices; and [...]

Es decir, estamos hablando de que el "Provider" tiene que procurar en todo momento aportar la tecnología más avanzada...

Saludos cordiales y buen verano. :-)
