Vistos y teniendo presente

[Jan59]

I am translating some legal documents from Chile into English and am looking for the equivalent of “vistos y teniendo presente”.

Please provide more detail of the type of document and a complete paragraph upon which the phrase appears.

Actually, a colleague was able to give me the equivalent. It appears in the heading to a preamble in a court document. The equivalent is “Whereas”.
