New legal_form_name field in Company Verification
Company Verification now returns the company's legal form, in a new legal_form_name field.
The field sits in company_information.legal_form, next to code and description:
"legal_form": {
"legal_form_name": "SAS, société par actions simplifiée",
"code": "6CHY",
"description": "SAS, société par actions simplifiée"
}It is returned everywhere Company Verification data is returned:

legal_form_name is always present and can be null, when the registry does not provide a local legal form name. It is also null for verifications created before this release and for anonymized verifications.
