When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Mr. ... who has engaged as his counsel...
In some contexts what Phil Goddard has proposed would work fine, but without seeing the entire sentence I would advise sticking more closely to the exact meaning of the French.

: I agree that the context is a bit thin, but this is a subpoena and I assume this sentence is the details of one of the parties.

Yes, it probably is. But it says "Mr. X, who engages...," not "Mr. X, represented by..." Same meaning, but this is a closer translation. I just changed the FR present tense to the EN present perfect because that's how we say it (BD Finch does likewise).

Perhaps I should have said in England and Wales, as I don't know how they put it in Scotland.

Mr. ..... whose inatructed lawyer > (US) retained Attorney > is...
It would have been helpful to know the asker's country and/or the target-audience vernacular as an attorney retainer agreement doesn't work too well Transatlantically.
PS sub-poena was a civil term in England & Wales pre-1998 civil justice reforms, whilst summons - now the superordinate, fused term - was used for criminal cases.
