English term or phrase: LLC
I would like to know the best way to translate this phrase from American English into Latin American Spanish.

It's the translation of a legal document for a lawyer's deposition.

What is the meaning of the English abbreviation "LLC" in this context?

Is okay to translate" LLC" as "sociedad con responsabilidad limitada?

Here is the full phrase for your review:

ATTORNEY FOR DEFENDANT
Nanuet Mall, LLC


Miguel XXXXX
VS
Nanuet Mall, LLC
COURT OF COMMON PLEAS
XXXXXXX


Thanks for your help.

Explanation:
I would leave it as it is because it is part of the name of the company, it is not explaining the type of company.

agree  Agustina Bellino: In Argentina, translators leave it as it is and add a comment in square brackets with the "translation"; you can use "SRL" (the acronym) in this case. It is tricky to translate one-to-one since there may be some variants according to each country's law

agree  Mariano Saab: As we all now, legal systems vary. It's best to leave the acronym as is and explain what type of company it is similar to in the target country.

llc
corporación de responsabilidad limitada


Explanation:
Limited = limitado(a)
Liability = Responsabilidad
Corporation = Corporación
El termino Sociedad es muy ambiguo, en LLC se refiere exclusivamente a una corporación debido al tema de responsabilidad, aunque en terminos de impuestos sea una asociación.

Soy un experto en temas de impuestos a nivel federal, y como explique LLC es exclusivamente una entidad para evitar la doble imposición de impuestos a las corporaciones estilo C pero preservando la responsabilidad limitada.

I am sorry for switching languages at last minute, but LLC is not only a suffix, it does explain what kind of entity it is. As I said, I am an IRS expert.
