This is from an email exchange about property damages, what does stellen mean in this context?
Even kort een mail om te bevestigen dat wij de dagvaarding van companyA ontvangen hebben.
Wij zullen ons daarover buigen en lawyerA zal zich - behoudens andere instructies - in principe op 8 februari voor companyB stellen.

Selected

As per my earlier reference comment and, for the third option, see also the following link:
De advocaat van Shell heeft zich op laatstgenoemde datum gesteld in de zaken a, b, d en e, maar niet in zaak c, om reden dat daarin volgens Shell geen appeldagvaarding was ontvangen.
(...)
On that day Shell’s attorney presented himself as counsel in cases a, b, d, and e, but not in case c, because according to Shell no notice of appeal had been received in that case.

argue / proxy
Just reminded of the phrase "argue for the defendant" (in which case we'd normally see "pleiten" in the Dutch in civil/criminal proceedings). "Stellen" can either be wederkerig or not (the latter case of which means "to contend"). In its reflexive form, you might could stretch this to "proxy for", given that we sometimes use "proxy" as a verb. That would imply that the lawyer is there to argue on behalf of (i.e. "proxy for") the company.
