Thanks for all the comments, I given it all a lot of thought, but in the end decided to stick with 'Agreement of special delegation'. I can see that outsourcing agreement might be better, but I then have the problem of the term throughout the document of "Special Delegate". To me, 'outsourcer' doesn't work in that context, as it is the company who is outsourcing to the delegate, rather than the delegate. I could be wrong on this, but that's my feeling on it.

According to your text, what exactly is being delegated? It might be appropriate to use the more Br/Oz sounding "authority" (i.e. to do) but all depends on the rest of your text. Alternatively, as Neil says, "outsourcing" may well be appropriate. "Delegation" is a VERY Spanish/French term and in my own experience, it rarely works in English.

If they are delegating things like sales, marketing or manufacturing activities, etc, then its' "outsourcing", not delegation. If they are granting powers of attorney or similar, then "delegation in favour of" is OK. (That's my take on it, anyway).

You will have to decide whether "Special Delegation Agreement" sounds natural in English (it only gets 9 hits in Google, and not all on English-speaking websites). As to whether you can add "powers" to the title, that depends on exactly what is being delegated. This type of agreement usually involves delegating powers (or granting power of attorney), but you will know that from the content of the document. Hope this helps.

All your answers and comments have been very useful, however, I'm still struggling to decide exactly how to render it, for two reasons.

Firstly, remember that it's the title of the document, not a phrase within it. I'm tempted by 'Agreement Delegating Special Powers of Company XXX to Mr. YYY' but it doesn't quite sound like a heading. If 'Special Delegation' is an acceptable phrase, then I'd rather begin it with 'Special Delegation Agreement' but that then leaves me with the same problem of prepositions ('Special Delegation Agreement FROM? / OF?')

Secondly, I am not sure about including the word 'powers' when 'poder' is not in the original. Maybe that's a mistake, obviously translation is not always literal, I just want to be sure I'm not adding a specific legal term which isn't actually specified. However, leaving 'powers' out of the heading makes wording it more difficult, so maybe it should go in.

Yes, they are.

Are Company XXX and Mr. YYY the only two parties in the contract?
