Spanish term
sin perjuicio de que
My initial translation of this phrase was "even if" but now I'm wondering if it might be equivalent to "unless" and could use some feedback. Thanks in advance.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Tread carefully when conflating 'without pjerudice to' and 'notwithstanding', even though addressed DEU/ENG in the Transblawg example sentence.
The Mexican meaning of interventor in the context also needs (to) be addressed.
sin perjuicio de que en la propia resolución por lo que se decreta la intervención y se nombre (d)el interventor, se especifique el alcance de sus funciones y facultades. >
-> with no bar / or fetter for non-alcoholics/ on the selfsame resolution that orders and directs the statutory auditorship (receivership or admin.) and appointing the statutory auditor (receiver or administrator) specifying the scope of his or her/their functions and powers.
PS there is no need for anyone purporting to disagree with this answer to lift and reword the whole idea.

unless
You also need to break up the long and complicated sentence into shorter ones, but that probably goes without saying.

It means that the administrators will have full control of the company unless the resolution appointing them gives them specific powers.

Robert Carter
: I agree with your sentiment about "notwithstanding", but I think "unless" is in fact the opposite, i.e., per the asker's initial idea, it does mean "even if". The administrators will have all necessary powers even if...
