Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:
Non-PRO (2): mchd, Yvonne Gallagher
When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

basics of company law - where do you want the explanations to start from? the concept of subject of law? natural vs legal persons? ... or maybe ask mchd in which bog standard general purpose dictionary to look for in-depth explanations of legal terms?

change of legal status
1) Regarding espèce de société: it does appear to mean"form of company" as used in statutes/articles of association, but it is not usual in French and note that the 2nd example below is from French-speaking Africa (hint?)
"La mention des apports de chaque associé apparaîtra lorsqu’il s’agira de rédiger les statuts d’une SCI, ou d’une autre espèce de société civile."
https://blog.legalvision.fr/2018/04/28/redaction-des-statuts...
"Lorsqu’il y a lieu pour l’Assemblée : a) ... h) de transformer la Société en une autre espèce."
https://www.mines-rdc.cd/resourcecontracts/contract/ocds-591...
2) I did think of "change of legal form", but can only find it in sources from countries whose official language is not English:
"The legal effects of the change, ie the company‘s transition to a different legal form, occurres on the date of entry of the change in the Commercial Register."
https://www.profispolecnosti.cz/en/other-services/business-t...
"The change of legal form (and related change to the articles of association [bylaws]) is effective only after approval by the shareholders, in a meeting held in front of a notary and transcribed in an official notary deed."
https://www2.deloitte.com/be/en/pages/audit/solutions/change...
"In April 2007, the Annual Meeting of BASF voted with a large majority to accept the proposal submitted by the Board of Executive Directors and Supervisory Board to change the company’s legal form."
http://www.report.basf.com/2007/en/thecompany/newstructures/...
"The change of legal form must be decided by resolution of the shareholders’ general meeting; the following rules apply:..."
https://www.wienerborse.at/uploads/u/cms/files/issuers/ipo/c...
3) "change of legal status" gets mentioned
-in UK sources:
"Change of legal status
If we authorise your firm and you are thinking of changing its legal status, eg, from a partnership to a limited company - you must apply for authorisation for the new company."
https://www.fca.org.uk/firms/change-legal-status
- in US sources: https://www.lawinsider.com/clause/business-activities-change... (can't copy the text without registering but you can access it at this address)
- in Canada:
"A change of legal status means that your company's number with the Registre des entreprise du Québec has changed. "
https://www.rbq.gouv.qc.ca/en/licence/modifying-or-discontin...
etc.
