and for all purposes relating hereto
Explanation:
Here is a similar definition involving "thereto" (not "hereto"):

"para os devidos fins"
"for all purpose relating thereto"
http://www.websters-dictionary-online.org/translation/Portug...

I realize Webster's gave "for all purpose relating thereto" - which I have changed to "for all purpose relating hereto" - because "thereto" is about "that" ("aquilo"), while "hereto" is about "this" ("isto").


Also, there was also a similar KudoZ question:
http://www.proz.com/kudoz/portuguese_to_english/automation_r...

which gave "for all intents and purposes" - but that's when you're making a general declaration and might be exactly what you want here, where your signature is more likely about a specific thing.


An example:

"...With respect to the Compromise Motion and for all purposes related hereto, the Parties agree that this Agreement represents a settlement and compromise of..."
