You have hired a legal firm X. You have to make payment to X and tds will be deduct from this payment whether it payment regarding X's service or reimbursement of payment made by x to Y. i.e tds will be deducted on this as a payment made to X.

At the time of deducting TDS what you need to remember the entity to whome you are making the payment. Since you are making the payment to X you need to deduct the Tax u/s 194J as per prevailing rate.
