Chief Jurisconsult / Jurisconsult Official
I'm simply guessing here, it may also be Head or Director?

To continue guessing, could it be chief legal council?

Doaa, Thank you for your comment! With regard to the word "مدير" the offered terms can all be used interchangeably reliant on the pertinent field. For instance, director/head are usually used in a government office/department setting; while chief/official can be used in a legal/military/government setting as well. I gave a reference where Jurisconsult is a dictionary entry under "حقوقي" and also provided another guess as "chief legal council" at the above note. However, I was simply trying to give our colleague an option to consider and pointed that I am not totally sure of the answer given.

Doaa Alnajjar
: head, chief كبير / director مدير / official رسمي. Also Jurisconsult is more towards شرعي وليس قانوني What do you think? :)
