Naturaleza de un texto

No sé muy bien cómo traducir esta frase:

Su naturaleza es la de un texto legal.

Its nature is of a legal text

Thanks.

May I say "By its nature, it is a legal text" (Por su naturaleza, se trata de un texto legal.)

Yes.
If you want it be emphatic, say by its very nature, it is a legal text.
(This may not sound like good English, but it is.) Very is usually an adverb but sometimes it changes hats

Yes, I know that very could be translated into "auténtica" (auténtica naturaleza) in this case (well, I think so ).

Thanks, Poli.

Edit: "changes hats?"

Thanks, Poli.

En ente caso traducería very como verdadera, pero auténtica serviría tambien. (es claro que very y verdad tienen las mismas raices)

Change hats es un dicho que significa cambiar profesión.

Así, en este caso sería cambiar de función, ¿no?

Claro que sí. Usé el dicho metafórico para el propósito de demostrar un uso común en inglés.
