Spanish term

Contrato Social

Spanish to English Law/Patents Law (general) Business Law
Please help me find a definitive English term for this phrase used in a document from Ecuador. None of my usually excellent dictionaries or online sources puts these two seeming simple words together to create a solid English version. I'll appreciate your assistance. Here is a sample of the context:

"A falta de estipulación contractual o de resolución de la Junta General, se entenderá que se hallan facultados para representar a la Compañía Judicial y extrajudicialmente y para realizar toda clase de gestiones, actos y contratos, con la excepción de aquellos que fueren extraños al *Contrato Social*, de aquellos que pudieren impedir que posteriormente la Compañía cumpla sus fines y de todo lo que implique reform del *Contrato Social*."

AllegroTrans Aug 9, 2012:
One umbrella term? Formal incorporation documents
Might work
Richard Hill Aug 9, 2012:
Tricky I don't know if there is one term that could cover all the entities you mention?
Karen Friedman (asker) Aug 9, 2012:
The text is a description of various types of commercial entities: Compañías en nombre colectivo, de responsabilidad limitada, anónimas, de economía mixta, En comandita por acciones, and En comandita simple. This paragraph came from Responsibilidad limitada, but the term shows up all over all of them.
AllegroTrans Aug 9, 2012:
Asker This is a duplicate question - please squash one of them

As pointed out in the misspelled version of this quesiton by Allegro at http://www.proz.com/kudoz/spanish_to_english/law_general/490...
"exact term will depend on the structure of the entity concerned- asker needs to be aware"

Therefore, "partnership agreement" is a possibility as show in the above dictionary reference
