French term or phrase: pour qui agit
This appears in the final part of a power of attorney:

"XXX, une société de droit YYY, ayant son siège social à ZZZ

Pour qui agit

Propriétaire de 4.000.000 actions de la société anonyme QQQ

Constitue pour mandataire spécial, avec faculté de substitution:

Monsieur "

I not quite sure how to translate "pour qui agit" in this document. Any assistance appreciated.

You're right Gert. It is quite obvious, really, but it's been a long day and I didn't immediately realise that the lawyer's name was not included in the text!!

neutral  writeaway: it's not 'obvious', it's wrong.Mr XX is acting on behalf of the company. you can represent a company but not be authorised to act on their behalf. agir is to act, not represent. English isn't really a free for all./insult all you wish,your answer's wrong
