are not an attempt to influence the asker, specially when such suggestions also include other respondent's answer ("qualified professional", in this case). The asker is a very qualified and skilled translator who is capable of choosing the most appropriate answer and I think he does not have to illuminate anybody on why he prefers an expression.

Perhaps you should illuminate on why you think 'skilled staff' would be appropriate in your context. If you are working on a contract, I would avoid such wording - after all - who's to say who's skilled. It's meaningless. Hence the existence of qualifications, licensing, etc.

In my experience a "qualified professional" with professional as the noun is very common, as in "If you want something done properly you should use a qualified professional". I think it is perfectly acceptable in your context and probably the best translation, along with Tobias' suggestion of "licensed professional".
By no means do I want to say that your answer is wrong, but when I look for occurrences in the web, I find qualified professional as an adjective preceeding something, like "qualified professional accountant".
