acting appropriately

this is one of those filler phrases in SPanish that doesn't add much meaning and is hard to translate, but acting appropriately will suffice.

You might want to change <and in its name and representation>
to <on behalf of and representing xx (the company or whatever)>
and <as the empowered Legal Representative >
to <as Agent> or <Attorney-in-Fact>

to the best of his (her) knowledge,

I think this is why they meant.

Hope it helps

duly authorized

I see this all the time in Spanish legal and business documents. It's a somewhat squishy phrase, but what usually works is to shift its position, thus: ".... in her capacity as the duly authorized Legal Representative of the Company..."

Cheers,

drop it

Msgreenfie is right: it really doesn't add any meaning, so I would just drop it. Normally, the phrase is "como mejor proceda en derecho", something like "in accordance with the law".

Also, are you sure this "apoderado" is a woman? If it's not, you should change your "in her capacity as" to "in HIS capacity as".

I would alse translate "apoderado" as "attorney-in-fact".

Hope it helps!
