Our Story
From a Simple Idea to a Trusted Name in Legal Recruiting
Volstrin was founded in 2021 with a straightforward conviction: the legal industry deserved a recruiting partner that operated with the same rigor, discretion, and ethical standards that attorneys bring to their own practice.
Our founders saw an industry crowded with generalist staffing agencies that treated legal placements like any other hire — resume in, resume out, hope for the best. That approach fails the legal profession. A litigator who thrives in a 20-person boutique will struggle at a 500-attorney firm, and vice versa. Practice area expertise, firm culture, partnership trajectory, billing expectations — these variables matter. We built Volstrin to account for all of them.
What began as a focused practice placing lateral associates in the mid-Atlantic region has grown into a nationwide legal recruiting firm serving law firms of all sizes, corporate legal departments, and government agencies. Our growth has been deliberate — we've never chased volume at the expense of quality. Every year, we've expanded our reach while deepening our expertise.
