Law/Patents - Law: Contract(s)
Spanish term or phrase: en virtud de escritura otorgada a su favor
This appears in a service supply contract just after \'Reunidos..........de una parte..........En su calidad a........EN VIRTUD DE ESCRITURA OTORGADA A SU FAVOR. Is there a standard English translation for this?
Thank you in advance for your help.

by virtue of the contract you have been given
Explanation:
That's what I needed, you need to call it a "contract", the word "escritura" in Spanish is very generic and can refer to many things. The term you need in English is the specific term for it, "contract".

Thanks for the CONTEXT.
