Legal Attache (assigned to a foreign embassy in a host country
Greetings.
In view of that context provided, the term "legat" is an abbreviation (of US Government origin, as best I remember) for the diplomatic position of "Legal Attache."
Background: A "Legat" (also spelled variously in capital letters as LEGAT) is usually a criminal lawyer, special agent, or legal investigator who is accredited and assigned to the staff of a foreign embassy in a host country.
A Legat can also be assigned or attached as a liaison officer to INTERPOL and regional law enforcement authorities (such as those in the GCC).
Hope this helps clarify the meaning of that official/diplomatic/legal abbreviation. Today is Thursday, October 16, 2014.
