Represent you for or in?

Greetings! I came across an ad today, and I was wondering if this is correct:

Allow John Doe and his team to represent you for whatever legal matters you have.

"For" can be used to indicate the use of something. However, wouldn't "in" be the correct preposition for this sentence?

Allow John Doe and his team to represent you in whatever legal matters you have.

Or are both of these subjectively correct?

I wouldn't say for is wrong, but in is much more standard.
