Spanish term

tramitador

Spanish to English Law/Patents Slang
Colombia y Ecuador. Tramitador es un tipo de gestor que se encarga de conseguir papeles y hacer trámites para su cliente, normalmente de manera legal, pero a veces no. Busco un término en Inglés que no sea sólo "agent". Preferiblemente un término coloquial o de uso corriente.

Exactly. Here, in Mexico, there are "tramitadores" for everything related to paperwork and documentation. And Americans expats living here called them precisely "docu/paperwork brokers".

Realmente se hace difícil porque todos estos términos tienen diversas variaciones. Por lo menos es un acercamiento.

contact

as this job does not really exist in England, this is what an English person might say "our contact in..." etc., and is colloquial (even "our man in..." - hello Graham Greene!), but it's difficult without more context - I have to say that "middle man" is great too!
