 Company (law) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For example, in the law of the United Kingdom, a company is a legal person with a separate identity from its members, and thus would be a form of corporation.
A company might also not be able to sue or be sued in its own name, and thus would not be considered to be a legal person.
Whether a company has either of these characteristics depend on the law of the jurisdiction.

 UAE Company Law Background
The Company Law, which may be considered a relatively advanced legislative instrument, was based mainly on the practice and experience of neighbouring Arab countries which have used the French legal system of companies classification.
These activities culminated in the promulgation of Law No. (13) of 1988 ("Law No. (13)"), amending the Company Law, which was published in the Official Gazette on 8th January, 1989, and made effective from the date of its publication.
The aforementioned grace period, during which companies already operating in the UAE had to conform to the provisions of the Law, was extended to two years from the effective date of Law No. (13), therefore ending on 7th January, 1991.

 Company Formation - A brief overview of French corporate law.
The formation of companies in France is generally considerably more complicated and time consuming than in many Common Law jurisdictions.
French Company Formation - (in French - Constitution d'une société) - There are numerous types of company structure which are provided for by French Law, however today the great majority of trading entities in France have taken the form either of a Société Anonyme (S.A.) or a Société à Responsabilité Limitée (S.A.R.L.).
The Memorandum and Articles of Association (By(e)-laws) are far from standardised, although statute law provides for a number of heads which must obligatorily appear therein.

 SSRN-Silence Is Golden: The European Company Statute as a Catalyst for Company Law Arbitrage by Luca Enriques
Then, it is showed that the absence of rules on shares, and to a lesser degree on legal capital and financing enhances the appeal of the European Company Statute as a vehicle for company law shopping.
Following the skimming process that led to its final approval in October 2001, the European Company Statute provides only a patchy set of uniform rules applying to the new legal form, the Societas Europaea or SE.
The Statute covers a limited range of issues, most of them only partially and often leaving options open to Member States or to companies themselves.
