A further reply to Jean-Philippe Robé on the firm
回应罗贝关于公司与企业的概念区分,指出所有商业公司都是企业,但并非所有企业都是公司,并引用法律期刊中的标准用法作为依据。
Abstract Despite agreement on many points, including our shared insistence that ‘corporation’ and ‘firm’ are different concepts, Jean-Philippe Robé still maintains that they are mutually exclusive: no corporation is a firm, and no firm is a corporation. In contrast, we follow standard nomenclature when we point out that all (business) corporations are firms, but some firms are not corporations. We show here that this is a standard practice among lawyers writing in leading law journals and note that Robé seems to have abandoned the task of defining the firm.
