Bus/Financial - Law: Contract(s)
Japanese term or phrase: 実態 (in this case)
It's taken from the below phrase which is part of the conditions of a contract.
I understand that Company X is not to enter into any joint ventures with other companies, but the proper wording for もしくは実態との合併 is not coming forth. Thank you for your help!
他の法人もしくは実態との合併。

Thank you, Khun Soonthon. In the end, I used "entity." As Shannon states, the more general word worked perfectly for me in this case.

実体 (in this case)
legal entity


Explanation:
legal entity
法的実在; 法的主体; 法的人格
□Corporation (法人)のように, 法的に機能し, 権利の主体となり, 当事者能力を有する自然人以外の主体.
entity
1 法主体
□訴訟当事者たる能力をもつ者という意味に用いられるのが通常だが, 税法上は法人のほか partnership, 相続財産, 信託を含むというように, 法分野によって意味を異にすることがある. →legal entity
2 実体
□Business entity (企業実体)のことを単に entity ということが多い. 会計上, 企業という経済主体をその所有主とは別個の存在と認めることにより, 企業の財産と企業の資本という概念が成立し, double entry (複式簿記)が成立した.
