Portuguese to English translations [PRO]
Law/Patents - Law (general) / Legal theory
Portuguese term or phrase: figura jurídica
A única definição de figura jurídica que consigo encontrar é a no Vocabulário Jurídico, De Plácido e Silva, 28ª Ed., pág. 620:
"Assim se diz de tudo que é concebido ou instituído por lei, para, por uma ficção legal, ser acatado ou encarado como real."

Um exemplo de figura jurídica é a pessoa jurídica e a personalidade jurídica respetiva.

Assim, a figura jurídica é um conceito legal ou instituto jurídico baseado numa ficção legal.

A única resposta que consigo arquitetar, sem certeza bastante, é legal construct.

legal vehicle


Explanation:
figura jurídica: 1 legal concept 2 legal vehicle, West : Mex. etc. ESP > AmE, Dictionary of Law + Business. Quaere: whether is on all fours with the Portuguese 'equivalent'. The wording of 'a pessoa jurídica e a personalidade jurídica respetiva' suggests that a legal vehicle might fit better than a 'legal construct' that is otherwise a better fit with the conceptual definition.
