In law, a company is regarded as a separate legal entity, distinct from its owners and shareholders. This means it can enter into contracts, own property, sue, and be sued in its own name. This status provides limited liability protection to its shareholders, meaning they are typically only responsible for the company's debts up to their investment amount. Overall, a company has rights and responsibilities similar to those of an individual under the law.
