German term or phrase: mit Zusatz Zweigniederlassung Frankfurt am Main
DE:
Zweigniederlassung errichtet unter gleicher Firma mit Zusatz Zweigniederlassung Frankfurt am Main, XXXX Frankfurt am Main YYYYY Köln,

I need to certify the translation. However, I am looking for the ideal or near-ideal solution here. As easy to understand and read, as little verbose and as little prone to misunderstandings as possible, all at once, as the INTERIM user of the certified translation is a lawyer from the South of the country who speaks very good English.

Can it be done or do I have to use complicated wording instead? See the END user will most probably be an English speaker and these, unlike people from around these parts, cannot stand verbose wording.

Draft EN translation, not edited yet:
Branch office set up under the same company name with the appendage "Zweigniederlassung [Branch Office] Frankfurt am Main ..."

Thank you,

Best regards,

with the addition of "Zweigniederlassung Frankfurt am Main" [Frankfurt branch]
Explanation:
Since it's the name of a company, you should leave it in German and add a translation in brackets.

You could omit "am Main" from your translation - I usually do, as there's no risk of confusion with the other Frankfurt. But it's up to you.

Explanation:
For self- etc. certification. Otherwise, name 'added FfM branch'.

Note that 'Frankfurt branch' on its own is presumptuously Wessi and dodges its namesake of Frankfurt an der Oder (that once historically used to be larger than its namesake on the Main.)

We meed to be careful to prefix with the 'Firma' that, in German etc. law, is the business name and not strictly a firm. To complicate matters, trading as a firm in ENG law and litigation, means as a partnership.

agree  Jennifer Caisley: I like "addition" much more than Asker's suggested translation of "appendage" (!)

  -> Yes, strictly speaking it's correct, but it sounds odd to me.
agree  writeaway: yes Zusatz means addition. and keep the am Main. No need to drop part of the name of the city. /but there are 2 Frankfurts in Germany. Officially it's advisable to stick with the am Main
13 mins
  -> No English speaker would say "I'm going to Frankfurt am Main", just as they wouldn't say "I'm going to Newcastle upon Tyne". But thanks for agreeing!
