English translation:with the attendance of and advised by
Explanation:
As a transitive verb, assistir can mean: to assist, to help, to attend, to be present at, and even to watch (assistir a um jogo na tv) and, in our case, "estar presente, acompanhar, principalmente em acto ou cerimónia pública, na qualidade de ajudante ou assessor".

Grande Dicionário da Língua Portuguesa, José Pedro Machado, Tomo II, Pág. 69.

So, in our case, the parties Zezinho and Maria are not represented by the lawyer, i.e. he/she does not sign for them, but are merely advised by him/her.

Explanation:
Not 'attended to' but 'upon' that may, albeit archaically, capture the ambiguous flavo/u/r of the original.

Note that the bills of costs or fee notes of my one-time City of London law firm included a line entry as a charge for such 'attendance' namely for having served the clients.

Example sentence(s):
  • Forum post: 'Attend upon' is an old-fashioned phrase which means to meet or keep one's appointment usually with someone superior. > NO
  • The technical and commercial departments of Cantina Cortecchia attend upon its *clientele* identifying its needs and satisfying any particular specific productive request.
