Not sure what your question is when you say 'legal forms of association'.
A person can represent himself/herself in court.. that is one option.
A person can prove they lack the funds to pay for an attorney and be assigned a public defender.
A person can hire an attorney.
All of these entail criminal charges and not civil suits or circumstances.

For what purpose?
The basic forms of business entity are sole proprietorship, partnership, unincorporated association (rare for a profit-making entity) and various kinds of incorporated entity. Such forms are available in virtually every country.
In the USA there are, by state and territorial law, different kinds of partnerships and of entities with "legal personality".
There are ordinary partnerships where every partner is personally liable for the partnership debts and limited partnerships where only the general partners are so liable.
There are "limited liability companies" which are more informal than traditional corporations. For tax purposes, these are usually treated as sole proprietorships or partnerships, but the members can opt for treatment as a corporation.
There are various professional entities such as limited liability partnerships.
And there must be other permutations I've forgotten. Such as trusts of various kinds.
For clubs and nonprofits and foundations there are all kinds of unincorporated and incorporated associations. From groups that just get together and do or do not have common assets to state- and even federally-chartered entities. In some states like New York, churches may be incorporated under a special law.

There are basically two big ones. Corporations which exist as independent legal entities, and partnerships/associations which provide some benefits but no liability protection.
The area of associations and businesses can get very complex, and have significant tax and liability consequences. Laws also vary by state. You should consult with a licensed attorney if you want to establish any business or non-profit association.
