Spanish term

Abogado Asociado Director

Spanish to English Law/Patents Law (general)
Hola.

Abogado Asociado Director figura al final de mi carta de referencia. Se trata del cargo de quien la suscribe en nombre de un despacho de abogados.

Me preguntaba si podría traducir ABOGADO ASOCIADO al inglés como ADVOCATE PARTNER. Pero de todas formas me enreda esto de director al final.

Gracias por cualquier sugerencia

@ Mr. Phillips:

Clearly my answer has been misinterpreted.
However, "abogado asociate" means "associate attorney /or counsel"; and abogado director mean "lead counsel" as evidenced by the followin link: http://books.google.com/books?id=sUIsKaZe9a4C&pg=PT338&lpg=P... (Page 328).

I am fully aware that "associate" does not mean "partner".

Muchas gracias Emma. Muy agradecida. Saludos.
disagree Charlesp : An "associate attorney" is one who is not a "partner" in the firm. Hence this suggestion of "lead associate attorney" would be misleading, as such an attorney would certainly be a partner.

I disagree with your logic. There is nowhere in the question where it speaks of a "partner"; if you read my answer properly the "lead" refers to the Attorney acting on a case vs. in the firm. Then what is your suggestion? (IMO - it is not advocate!)
agree Lydia De Jorge : The "lead" refers to the Attorney acting on a case vs. in the firm. Correct!

It's a high ranking associate attorney, but not yet a partner.
