Do you really see lawyers being replaced? I don't see anything special in their work but since it's a regulated industry I doubt it will be so affected.
At best some layers will work faster, but automating their work or people not requiring them? Usually when you contact one there's a lot at stake. Same with accountants.
Software engineering and translators is a different story. Most of the times if something goes wrong nobody cares.
Lawyer, accountants, doctors, architects, and engineers won't be replaced.
We're not paid just for what we do, we get paid because we accept liability for our mistakes. Professional liability insurance is a large part of why licensed professionals charge so much money for their services.
