Explanation:
I have encountered a problem while translating some text from English into Lithuanian, but there was a word in English "procurist" and it was really hard to translate.
It might be that Lithuanians borrowed this word from another language, or simply some "wise" guy made a word formation from the word "to procure".
I have found some links from other languages below:

Explanation:
LT - prokuristas

Asmuo, kuriam išduota prokūra, yra prokuristas.

EN - procurator

A person who is issued a procuracy shall be a procurator.

procuracy=prokūra

Procuracy shall be a power of attorney, which a legal person (entrepreneur) grants to his employee or other person to perform, in principal’s name and in his interests, all legal acts related to legal person’s (entrepreneur’s) undertaking.

Prokūra yra įgaliojimas, kuriuo juridinis asmuo (verslininkas) suteikia teisę savo darbuotojui ar kitam asmeniui atstovaujamojo vardu ir dėl jo interesų atlikti visus teisinius veiksmus, susijusius su juridinio asmens (verslininko) verslu.

From what I've read about it before, it is an option present in the Civil Code that is largely unused. As personal powers of attorney almost always must have been notarized in Lithuania, a "prokūra" is a an alternative form of POA that is available only to legal entities and does not have to be notarized in any of the circumstances where personal ones have to.

The term 'procurist' is used in a book on Texas business law, see page 234 in:
