the <representada> is the party conferring the <poder> (power of attorney)

It's probably feminine because it refers to a <sociedad> or <compañía>

I have seen this term many times in this kind of legal documents

Hope it helps

Sorry for not responding to your questions.

Representada means the company of course. It is a femenine noun, because compañia is also femenine.

Hope to have clear out your doubts.

case) but it won't be the apoderada. In fact, an "apoderada" is an attorney-in-fact and may represent the representada. I'd go along with principal.

En general, asi se refieren los abogados, apoderados, etc. a la "parte" que representan (..."mi" representada...), que puede ser una persona física (sea hombre o mujer) o jurídica. El género "femenino" se debe a la palabra "parte" (implícita), y no necesariamente al sexo del representado.

“Mi representada” clearly refers to the company represented by the lawyer who signs this appeal. This is not a power of attorney, it is an appeal; but prior to this representation, this company must have granted a power of attorney (“poder”) to this lawyer for him/her to represent it. When the company granted the power of attorney, it was the “constituent” or “grantor” (more usual) (Spanish: poderdante, representada o principal (poco usado en Venezuela)), and the lawyer was the attorney-in-fact (apoderado). When representing the company in court or before any other authority, the company is the “principal” (representada) and the lawyer is the “representative”, “attorney-in-fact”, “agent” or “counsel”, as the case may be.
