: Of course there are many options, but Word's spellchecker rejects "in connection with" as wordy. The shorter the better.

María Eugenia Wachtendorff
: This one and "as to" are my favorite for "en lo que se refiere a." Wordiness pays, but it usually pays only once! I don't mean to criticize those who suggested right, lenghier options, but some clients are suspicious, so better keep it short! ;-)
