What precisely is it that paying money to QS gives a firm that they couldn't buy locally from business consultants and through outsourcing? I just don't get it. Why not spend the money given to QS to "innovate" and develop locally or nationally (whatever suits the business)? After all there are law firms who aren't part of QS who have managed it. Those who are part of QS are generally reluctant to give specific information on what it is that QS offers which can't be done as an individual firm.
