Between

My comment:

Etes-vous sûr que le mot "conclut" porte bien le t?
Le § est relativement court mais il est clair qu'il s'agit bien d'un litige entre (ou qui oppose une partie à une autre). Le plus simple pour le dire en anglais et between (entre).
Bon courage

Gentleman X opposes company Y

My comment:

Please note that I assume, from your question, that the first actor in this situation is the gentleman, but the excerpt does not contain any clear indication to that.

In English, we say: Smith vs. Argyle, Jaryndice vs. Jaryndice...as in Dickens said....[joke].

I made a mistake: it's just v. in English. And please no opposing or opposition or anything like that. It's important to be idiomatic.

Sorry, but vs is used in non-verbal phrases, not with a verb You can say: the "Arizona vs X " court decision" or the "Obama vs Bush" election, but not: the New Zealand All Blacks were opposed vs the French rugby team. Opposant here is not an adjective; it is a participle that can be replaced in French by " qui oppose X à Y
