You can represent yourself, but you can't represent the corporation. Only a lawyer can do that. Restraining order cases are more complex when they are brought by a corporation than by an individual, so you really should get competent counsel.

Feel free to contact me directly if you want to discuss your case in detail.

Mr. Hoffman is correct. If you are seeking the restraining order to protect yourself, you can represent yourself. If you are seeking the restraining order on behalf of a corporation (which would be bizarre, unless you seek it to protect your employees, which you may be required to do) you would need an attorney.
