Four-character code of a legal form in one jurisdiction, for example a German GmbH or a UK private limited company. ISO 20275 defines the codes and GLEIF maintains the list; LEI records use them to state an entity's legal form. 8888 marks a legal form whose code has been requested from GLEIF, and 9999 an entity that has no separate legal form.
