What industry are lawyers, accountants, lobbyists and consultants a part of?

This was sparked by some other guys thread asking if accounting was part of the financial industry but now I'm curious. If most financial jobs discussed on this forum (IB, PE, HF, AM, PWM, CF) are part of the "financial services industry" but where would that leave the rest of white collar professions?

Are lawyers apart of the "legal services industry"? What about jobs relating to politics like lobbyists?
And nearly all professional services like accountants, consultants and actuaries are these guys just not part of an industry? Or is there such thing as a "business industry"?

 

Lawyers are in the legal field, accountants are a type of business consultant whether hired or in-house, and being a lobbyist is a gig in the political world. Different classes of things being compared here, and any of these three could be a consultant, as “consultant” is a role rather than a profession.
