Explanation:
I wonder if any Spanish native speakers can tell me whether the word "Conforme" should really be followed by an "a" here? In any case, that's how I understand the phrase, i.e., "Conforme a, y siendole applicable, la ley..."

To my mind there's not a great deal of difference between "in accordance with" and "subject to" in this context, so you could probably simplify it all to "under" or "pursuant to".

disagree  AllegroTrans: Agree with Phil and "Being" is a clumsy and confusing start to the sentence as this suggests there is a subordinate phrase to follow

Explanation:
I think "y siendole aplicable" is redundant, as they wouldn't need to comply with this law if it didn't apply to them.

neutral  philgoddard: You say there's not a lot of difference between "in accordance with" and "subject to", so surely you're agreeing with my answer.

  -> There's enough of a difference for me to suggest using "under" to encompass both meanings rather than "in accordance with" on its own. Plus, your answer wasn't there at the time I began posting, and I don't agree with just "in accordance with".
