Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): TechLawDC

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

with the attendance of and advised by

As a transitive verb, assistir can mean: to assist, to help, to attend, to be present at, and even to watch (assistir a um jogo na tv) and, in our case, "estar presente, acompanhar, principalmente em acto ou cerimónia pública, na qualidade de ajudante ou assessor".

Grande Dicionário da Língua Portuguesa, José Pedro Machado, Tomo II, Pág. 69.

So, in our case, the parties Zezinho and Maria are not represented by the lawyer, i.e. he/she does not sign for them, but are merely advised by him/her.

Portuguese term (edited): assistir / assistido pelo advogado

attend upon / attended upon by US: the Attorney UK: Counsel

Not 'attended to' but 'upon' that may, albeit archaically, capture the ambiguous flavo/u/r of the original.

Note that the bills of costs or fee notes of my one-time City of London law firm included a line entry as a charge for such 'attendance' namely for having served the clients.
Example sentence:

Forum post: 'Attend upon' is an old-fashioned phrase which means to meet or keep one's appointment usually with someone superior. > NO

The technical and commercial departments of Cantina Cortecchia attend upon its *clientele* identifying its needs and satisfying any particular specific productive request.
