Citation Example: A legal entity is a legal subject that holds legal rights and obligations. Legal entities are generally classified into public and private categories. [1]

Public legal entities are established by the state or local government, such as government institutions, state-owned enterprises, and organizations responsible for public services. Their characteristics include: [3]

  • Established by the state or local government

  • Responsible for delivering public services

  • Related to public interest

  • Authorized to issue binding regulations

Private legal entities are formed by individuals or groups for economic or business purposes and can take the form of companies, partnerships, or cooperatives. [4]

Both types are legally recognized and differ in their formation, operation, and responsibilities. [5]
