Law: Contract(s)
This is a heading in a consultancy agreement. What follows is brief information (2 lines) on each of the two parties (who they are, what they do) and very briefly why the consultant was invited to provide consultancy.
This is the relevant dictionary definition of "recital": a formal statement or setting forth of some relevant matter of fact in a deed or other document.
Al-Mawrid suggests تلاوة، إلقاء، سرد، قص، رواية، قصة، حكاية، وصف
none of which work here...
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

وصف أو وصف موجز
A contract recital is meant to discribe the subject matter of the contract and give brief background information, in order to help put things in context at a later point in time.
I would therefore use وصف أو وصف موجز.

Thanks for the response. I never said it was actually used in contracts for sure. Still, I think it would be a sound translation for "recital". As for مقدمة/مدخل as Sabah suggests, that would have been appropriate had the word in question been "preamble".
