This translation is a bit of a misnomer since the true meaning of a "gesetzlicher Vertreter" is an agent whose authority is prescribed by law or statute. Thus, we recommend the more accurate translation "statutory representative".
a lawyer, paralegal, or other person (usually with legal training) who represents someone on legal matters or during legal proceedings, or who is otherwise authorized to represent someone and to speak on their behalf
