Well I met this question too when dealing with some contract, so I think I definitely have something to say here...
First of all, I firmly believe the term of "which expression" is grammatically incorrect, because for an attributive clause, it onlys needs to use the antecedent "which", and thus it's completely wrong to add any other word after it. But if you really want to add some noun after the antecedent, you would rather use another antecedent like "whose". If so, in this case, it would be "whose expression" (Obviously doesn't look very smart...).
Second, let me make my paraphrase for you here below:
From now on we call the person the "FIRST PARTY/ DEVELOPER" of the ONE PART. If there is no other explanation in this document, we have to accept that the "FIRST PARTY/ DEVELOPER" will also include the person's legal representatives, executors and assigns.
