As someone else has pointed out the main problem QS have is a lack of control over the membership. By acquiring Beaumont Legal LZ have bought a conveyancing factory but one over which they will have such control. Legal Zoom is all about utilising technologies. Firms like Beaumont are the same. They will have their market but like a lot of bulk firms will, I speculate, be little more than a building full of people with limited expertise wearing headsets.

It will be interesting to see how they do but I can't help feeling that one online firm has bought another mainly online firm to offer a mainly online service. Has it actually achieved anything?
