autorizar y dirigir

My comment:

Authorize and instruct are very similar in meaning in legal English. From Black's Law Dictionary, "instruct" means "to authorize one to appear as an advocate". "Authorize" means "to give a right or authority to act". So you could get away with using one verb in Spanish, probably "autorizar". In Alcaraz-Varo's Diccionario de terminos judiciales, "instruct" is also defined as "charge, direct, or order".
