Search for the Licensed Professions · New York
Find the lawyer,
not the résumé.
Volstrin is a boutique search practice for the licensed professions — beginning with law. We work a small number of mandates at a time and present a short, genuinely-matched shortlist — quickly, and in complete confidence.
§ 01 — Remit
A bad legal hire isn't a returned order — it's a year of billings, a client who doesn't come back, and sometimes a conflict that can't be unwound. Most recruiting ignores that: a hundred résumés forwarded by someone who never read them, the same names sent to every firm in town. We work the other way. A few searches at a time, the practice understood before a single name is raised, and no one put in front of you we haven't checked, called, and would put our own name to. Law is where we begin — the method travels wherever a license, a reputation, and a fit all have to be right at once.

Terms, stated plainly.
Transparent contingency. Our fee is shared in full at intake — no surprises — invoiced on the candidate's start date, net 30. You pay nothing unless we place someone who stays.
How we work, on every search — these are our commitments, not a claim about past results.
§ 04 — Method
How a search runs.
We take the brief
We learn the firm, the culture, and exactly what the seat requires — before a single name is discussed. Every search begins with understanding.
Targeted outreach
We identify and approach the people who fit the brief — discreetly, by introduction. Fit first, not a stack of résumés.
We vet before you do
Credentials verified, structured interviews, references, and a read on genuine interest and cultural fit. Only the few worth your time reach your desk.
Offer & aftercare
We manage the offer, the counter, and the close — then stay on through the settling-in period to make sure the hire holds.
§ 05 — Two ways in
