Hello,<br/><br/>I had a question regarding 'counterpart'.<br/><br/>There are 2 companies that do the same thing and work together at times. Can I use counterpart. Does counterpart only refer to people?<br/><br/>I used to work for your European counterpart.<br/><br/>Is 'refer' the correct word in the question: Does counterpart only refer to people?<br/><br/>Thanks
