Spanish term

Socio Promotor y Socio Protector

Spanish to English Bus/Financial Finance (general) Insurance
Hi,

I'm translating a document relating to an employee benefits scheme, and there are a number of parties involved. The "Socio Promotor" is the party that sets up and regulates the scheme. The "Socios Protectores" belong to subsidiaries of the "Socio Promotor" and are the employers that make contributions to the plan. I understand that one of them should be translated as a sponsor, but I'm unsure how to translate the other.

Thanks in advance

Thanks I think my suggestion fits the bill.

Sorry, I didn't realise it was against the rules. I added both terms as I knew I would be directed to the entry for socio protector that Adrian included in his comment; however, in this case, sponsor makes more sense as the translation for socio promotor, as this is the organisation that set up the plan.

Here's some explanatory text:

Los Socios Protectores del Plan de Previsión Social, siendo estas las empresas del Grupo que se adhieran con posterioridad a su creación al Plan de Previsión Social quienes con su actividad y las aportaciones acordadas participan en el desarrollo y mantenimiento del Plan de Previsión Social.

You've complicated things by including two terms in one question, which is against the rules, and you haven't given any text containing them. But what about "operator" and "employers"? Does that fit your context?

Spanish term (edited): Socio Protector

Scheme Trustee

I agree with sponsor or alt. sponsoring member - for Socio Promotor - rather than 'partner'. though a company can be made a 'corporate partner'.

Though a trust and trustee are 'recognised' in Scots Law (Butterworths, Glossary of Scottish Legal Terms), the English Law of Equity - that spawned the concept of trust or cribbed the Norman-French law contrivance - is most definitely not.
Example sentence:

IATE: es protector COM protector de un fideicomiso COM en protector COM trust protector

In trust law, a protector is a person appointed under the trust instrument to direct or restrain the trustees in relation to their administration of the trust.

Note from asker:
Thanks for the input. The problem I have is that they don't appear to perform any trustee role. They are simply the entities who decide to join the scheme to be able to include their employees in it and subsequently make contributions
Peer comment(s):

neutral philgoddard : I'm sorry, but every time you start going on about Scottish law I just switch off.
