In accordance with and subject to

I wonder if any Spanish native speakers can tell me whether the word "Conforme" should really be followed by an "a" here? In any case, that's how I understand the phrase, i.e., "Conforme a, y siendole applicable, la ley..."

To my mind there's not a great deal of difference between "in accordance with" and "subject to" in this context, so you could probably simplify it all to "under" or "pursuant to".

Thanks, David.
neutral philgoddard : You say there's not a lot of difference between "in accordance with" and "subject to", so surely you're agreeing with my answer.

There's enough of a difference for me to suggest using "under" to encompass both meanings rather than "in accordance with" on its own. Plus, your answer wasn't there at the time I began posting, and I don't agree with just "in accordance with".

'applicable' covers both options here IMHO;
disagree AllegroTrans : Agree with Phil and "Being" is a clumsy and confusing start to the sentence as this suggests there is a subordinate phrase to follow

Being in disagreement with your arty farty language views will doubtless provoke your ire still further.

I think "y siendole aplicable" is redundant, as they wouldn't need to comply with this law if it didn't apply to them.

So do you just reproduce all the flaws in your customers' texts? I don't.
