English term
hereinafter \"CONTRACTOR\"
What I would like to know is whether this nickname in legal documents has a technical name, such as "alias", so that it would make sense to write "The [alias?] for ABC Ltda. in the service contract is CONTRACTOR".
With thanks in advance...

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.

Thank you for the contribution, Edith. I know there are several ways of expressing this. American contracts seem to prefer the shorter version that I gave. However, what I asked for is the technical term for this "nickname", if one exists. |

In response to your Note, I don't think it is correct and I don't think there is a technical generic term. I also don't understand why you need one. Yes it would be necessary if you wanted to say "'CONTRACTOR' is the XXXX of ABC Ltda. in the service contract." But, why not put it the other way round, as I suggested above?

I didn't include any "hereinbelow", because I assumed you might be using this in a document other than the service contract itself.
Thank you Barbara. So is it correct to say that "'CONTRACTOR' is the title of ABC Ltda. in the service contract."? You see, what I am looking for, if it exists, is the technical generic term for the use of an alias in the contract for the various parties. I have never come across a technical term for this and, if there is one, I would like to know it. |
It's a bit like climbing Mount Everest! I don't have an immediate need for this term, but got curious about whether it exists and, if so, what it is. And where better than KudoZ to find out? By all accounts, there is not a specific term. But I think the suggestion of "designation" (ex. "CONTRACTOR is the designation herein of ABC Ltda.") comes pretty close to what I wanted. And who knows what else may turn up? |

Thanks Adrian. That isn't quite right: problem with your word order and use of definite article.

designation
In court proceedings, the parties have common designations. In a civil lawsuit, the person who files the lawsuit is called the plaintiff, and the person being sued is called the defendant.
Discussion
However as you've rejected this, "No acceptable answer" - I will remove it from the list of Answers, thus making your "No acceptable answer" correct (as otherwise it wouldn't be)
http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Parties
In court proceedings, the parties have common **designations**. In a civil lawsuit, the person who files the lawsuit is called the plaintiff, and the person being sued is called the defendant.
I assume everyone DID read the question to the end so perhaps people didn't explicitly say "no, there is no one word I know of but this is the way it's done"
It's certanly not an "alias" or "nickname"
However, if you really just want one word then "Party" (1 or 2) is usually what is being described in the short form being referred to. Or Party 1, full name, hereinafter/hereunder as, short name
http://www.hobartlegal.org.au/tasmanian-law-handbook/courts-...
After the parties are formally identified, it is often appropriate to use shorthand references for them. This is usually done in a parenthetical that identifies the parties as “seller” or “buyer,” or by their last names only. An acronym is often used to shorten a long name. It is important to clearly state any shorthand name used for easy identification throughout the contract.

As for your question, if in legal jargon, there is an established and specific term, the general answer is 'no.' But a lawyer might say to her secretary, "add a hereinbelow."
