The legal representative can also be called the authorized representative of a legal person. The representative can be anyone, not fixed, but it depends on the authorization of the person. This authorization can be one-to-one authorization or authorization for multiple transactions. The legal representative must be the person in charge of the legal person organization and may exercise the functions and powers of the legal person on behalf of the legal person. China's General Principles of Civil Law stipulates that the person in charge who exercises authority on behalf of a legal person is the legal representative of the legal person according to the law or the articles of association of the legal person. The legal representative can be a director, manager or chairman, which depends on the provisions of the law or the articles of association. The legal representative represents the interests of the enterprise as a legal person and exercises rights according to the will of the enterprise as a legal person. It can be seen that a legal person can represent a company.
With the development of national economy, more and more enterprises will be established. In order to regulate the business behavior of enterprises, the state has also enacted the Company Law, which stipulates that all enterprises must set up a corporate legal person, and the corporate person will also represent the company to a certain extent. If an enterprise violates the law, the company as a legal person should also bear certain responsibilities.
