personified by/in


Explanation:
I am not pretending that this is the correct legal expression. But it says exactly what it means. The person designated is the company personified.

See link below:
Whether they are proceedings or rights in rem depends on the number of persons affected. Hence, the res need not be personified and made a party defendant, as happens with the ship in the Admiralty. It need not even be a tangible thing at all, as sufficiently appears by the case of the probate of wills. Personification and naming of the res as defendant are merely symbols, not be essential matter."

Does that help a little?

Regards
Maya
