Isn't the easier (and cheaper) thing to do here is just use a VPN to get 
behind the corpro firewall? Or as is probably happening more and more 
there is no corpro network at all since everything is outsourced on the 
net for smaller companies like your law firm.

The use cases that stuck in my mind for the justification for the need 
for routing was for things like Zigbee and other low power networks 
where you want them isolated from the chatter of the local lan. Not 
saying that I agree with the justification, but that was it iirc.
