> we've been careful to build this in a way that it's clearly an admin tool and not a replacement for legal advice

While the parent comment was a bit harsh, literally the first point on your landing page is "A modern legal assistant", which really does sound like you're managing parts of the legal process that a lawyer normally would.

Hmm, we were actually going for the same point you're making by using that analogy. The thinking is that lawyers handle legal advice (and practice law), while legal assistants handle legal administrative work (and don't give legal advice or practice law). Maybe there's a better way to say that though. I'll think about it, thanks for bringing that up!

"Legal advice" vs. "legal information" vs. "project management"/"clerical work"/"administrative work".

Legal assistants are often carrying out the instructions of lawyers. I've never seen one that operated independent of a lawyer.
