NAICS 541110: Offices of Lawyers

Legal services, including law offices providing advice and representation. Federal legal-services awards span outside counsel, expert services, and specialised litigation support.

What this NAICS code covers

NAICS 541110 is the North American Industry Classification System code that federal contracting officers assign to offices of lawyers work. The code determines your small-business size standard for any solicitation issued under it, which in turn determines whether you can compete as a small business or pursue any of the socioeconomic set-aside programs.
