letter to law firm/employment
text from Spain, from a lawyer eager to work at a new firm, and detailing the needs of his new team there. This is obviously related to the number of years of experience of the candidates for the team as the numbers are 1 greater in each case, but I cannot think of likely meanings! Any help much appreciated - here's the context and TIA!
Dado que ninguno de los dos compañeros con los que trabajo tienen un perfil internacional acusado, me gustaría poder participar en el proceso de selección de un profesional con una experiencia de seis, siete años *(A8)* que pudiera incorporarse al equipo, con capacidad para ser relativamente autónomo y poder llevar asuntos de menor complejidad y/o cuantía, así como, más tarde, en 2010, de otro compañero con una experiencia de dos, tres años *(A3/4)*.

a stab in the dark only I´m afraid. By the context it looks like they are saying 7-8 years and 3-4 years. Looks like an odd way of expressing it though so I´m probably barking up the wrong tree here.

A8: Y8
Maybe it's a key to the salary offered, i.e. for a person who is in his or her 8th year of working in a career, having completed 7. Sorry I can't find any references.

Defendant 8, Defendants 3/$
Another wild swing.
This would work if it's a criminalc onsipracy case where the Pro from Dover ( F .Lee Bailey) is being called in to handle it for a white-shoe firm.
For Defendant 8 (A8, who's a heavy hitter in the case), he needs someone who can stand up and occasionally make intelligent sounds in court, while for Defendants 3 & 4 (lesser players A3/4) simple hod-carriers would be sufficient, to carry his briefcase, etc).
The A# designation is very common in Spain for criminal defendants in a multi-defendant case.
Assuming, of course, we're not discussing Audis

Post Qualification Experience (PQE)
Another stab in the dark, but could it refer to their experience in the field after qualifying? Often seen in UK adverts for lawyers and accountnts. Shortened to PQE in recruitment adverts
