yes Liz - I also had same feeling about it thanks!
I feel the "them" refers to the persons named in the form, so ...

"I confirm I have gained the consent of all persons named in this form for *** or third parties contracted on its behalf to perform similar work in respect to the aforementioned persons." might work.
ClaraVal Jun 29, 2011:
"in their stead" It might also be "work in their stead". In other words, the company (***) contracts third parties to do the work, rather than the people named in the form doing the work directly. This would avoid repeating "behalf" also.
Darko Kolega (asker) Jun 29, 2011:
thanks Clara but I'm not sure if "works" referes to third party or persons named in form....I'd rather rephrase/twist this sentence to sound clearer....

to perform similar work on their behalf

I think this is what it is trying to say.

I've just noted in the discussion that it could also be "work in their stead". In other words, "to do the work instead of the people named in the form doing it".

to perform similar work for them.

All the persons named in the form have given their consent for *** or third parties contracted on its behalf to perform similar work to that which you are performing for me, or possibly which I am performing for you, or to that described in some other form in the source document.
