In case it isn't a law company, here goes some more info, about de fato and de direito companies:

In some cases, courts may decide that there is a sociedade irregular or de facto (partnership in practice, partnership in effect, de facto partnership) between two or more individuals who have failed to form one de direito (pursuant to law, de jure). In other cases, courts may decide the sociedade was formed for fraudulent purposes and desconsiderar a pessoa jurídica, literally, to ignore the legal entity, sometimes referred to as lifting the corporate veil in English.
