Law/Patents - Law (general)
Spanish term or phrase: verificarse
Podrán verificarse tantas reuniones como las partes juzguen conveniente, siempre que ambas manifiesten su expreso acuerdo en prolongar la fase conciliación en la minuta de cada reunión.

They may (hold? conduct?) as many meetings....

"Verify" doesn't seem to make sense in this context. If you believe it should indeed be "verify", please share your reasoning.

It's funny how many different verbs they used in this document to describe that the meeting was being "held", e.g., "realizarse", "llevar a cabo", and several more. Thanks, Carl.
