Sir, there are tax consultants( CA or other persons) in different firms and companies.. They provide advises relating to laws such as income tax, service tax, excise law, etc.. So they provide legal service but not in the capacity of advocate.. So I think it should be taxable ( but not under reverse charge) irrespective of the turnover..

the definition of legal service is as follows-' any service provided in relation to advice, consultancy, or assistance in any branch of law in any manner and includes representational service before any court, tribunal, or authority'. .. It has not been mentioned that only advocates as per advocate act are only eligible to provide legal service..

Services of CA not covered in reverse charge category hence no tax payable under reversecharge,RCM applicable where service received from individual advocate or firm of advocates
