Frequently asked questions
I carry out defence investigations to support lawyers in criminal cases — is that ATECO code 80.01.14 or corporate investigation?
Yes, 80.01.14. This category covers investigation services in the legal and criminal sphere. If instead the assignment comes from a company regarding misconduct or cash shortfalls without any proceedings involved, the code is 80.01.12.
I gather evidence and information for court proceedings — does that fall under this code or under the lawyer's legal services?
It falls here if you are the investigator gathering information, not the legal professional. Code 80.01.14 covers investigation in the legal and criminal sphere. Legal advice and courtroom defence are the professional activities of lawyers and fall outside this division.
I work on investigations that start as a family matter but end up in court — is that 80.01.14 or 80.01.11?
Usually, once the subject matter becomes an investigation in support of legal proceedings, 80.01.14 is the better fit. As long as the investigation remains in the private and family sphere without a judicial dimension, the reference is 80.01.11.
