It should be selected only when the enterprise's primary business activity matches this title more closely than 691002 Activities of rent collection agencies, 691099 Other legal activities n.e.c. including notary services, arbitration and mediation by legal professionals.
Choose 691001 only when operations, invoices and revenue narrative align with General legal counselling, advice, consultancy and representation in legal matters in civil, criminal and labour law disputes including representation before courts and other judicial bodies.

Use the code that matches the service actually provided. Financial intermediation, insurance, real estate, legal, accounting, consulting, engineering, advertising and R&D are separated into different professional service families.
Usually the firm's own service determines the NIC code, not the client's industry. For example, a consultant serving manufacturers is still a consulting or professional service business if advice is the revenue activity.
Check the parent hierarchy, compare 691002 Activities of rent collection agencies, 691099 Other legal activities n.e.c. including notary services, arbitration and mediation by legal professionals, and confirm that the official title matches the main revenue activity. For regulated or filing-critical decisions, verify the source row in the MoSPI dataset.
A wrong code can cause mismatched business descriptions, follow-up questions or later compliance cleanup. It is better to compare nearby codes before filing than to correct a weak classification later.
Use the legacy converter only as a migration aid. Old NIC 2008 matches can suggest where to look, but NIC 2025 should remain the primary reference for new code selection.
NIC 691001 should be selected only when the official title matches the main revenue-generating activity. If the business also trades, transports, processes, installs or supports the same product or service, compare nearby NIC pages before filing. This reduces the risk of choosing a code that describes the product being handled rather than the activity your enterprise actually performs.
