Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns
συνελθόντων
/having/_come_together
The pronoun they refers to the chief priests and the elders of the Jews, whom Festus mentioned in verse 15. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “when the chief priests and the elders of the Jews had come together”
Note 2 topic: translate-symaction
καθίσας ἐπὶ τοῦ βήματος
/having/_sat_down on the tribunal
Festus sat in the judgment seat as a symbolic action to show that he was ready to act as the judge in the case against Paul. If this would not be clear to your readers, you could explain the significance of this action. Alternate translation: “having sat in the judgment seat to show that I was ready to act as the judge in this case”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἐκέλευσα ἀχθῆναι τὸν ἄνδρα
˱I˲_commanded /to_be/_brought the man
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “I commanded soldiers to bring the man”
