Dans la phrase:
The number of members of the Company (exclusive of persons who are in the employment of the Company and of persons who, having been formerly in the employment of the Company, were while in such employment and have continued after the termination of such employment to be members of the Company) is limited to...
je ne suis pas sûr de comprendre le passage "were while in such employment".
Merci d'avance de vos lumières.

alors
En effet, c'est un peu surprenant, mais je pense que l'on peut rendre "while" par "alors" dans ce cas.

alors que
L'anglais juridique a la détestable manie de vouloir toujours utiliser le moins de mots possible, mais je pense que la phrase devient plus claire ainsi : exclusive of persons who are in the employment of the Company and of persons who, having been formerly in the employment of the Company, were members of the Company while [they were] in such employment and have continued to be members of the Company after the termination of such employment = étaient membres de la société alors qu'ils étaient ainsi employés et ont continué de l'être après la fin de cet emploi

pendant qu'ils étaient au service de la société
same sentence written differently :
were (members of the company) while in such employment and have continued to be (members of the company) after the termination ..
were (members of the company) while in such employment and have continued to be (members of the company) after the termination ..

: Même réponse que P D ? + pas certain qu'on emploierait " pendant /au service de la société " dans des statuts (des exemples ?) et ce n'est pas ce qui est demandé de toute manière (while).
