Yes, sometimes companies are 'legal persons' when discussed in a legal context as I mentioned.

We are not in a legal context, so to use such language in a normal context without elaboration will obviously mislead most listeners. It is a false statement since it leads the listener to false conclusions.

>Being human, legally speaking, is different than being a person, legally speaking.

It is incumbent to explain this to normal listeners, otherwise you're misleading them.
