Legal market consulting
The legal talent market, read by people who work in it every day.
The Voll Group advises investors, MSOs, law firms and law schools on the legal talent market: who is hiring, what seats pay, and whether a firm can hire and keep the lawyers its plan depends on.
Practices
Who we advise
Investors & MSOs
Talent and market diligence for law firm deals
Private equity is investing in law firms through MSO structures. We test the people side of the deal: bench depth, key-person risk, pay position and hiring capacity. After close, we help the platform hire.
Private equity & MSO consulting →Law firms
Compensation benchmarking
What your seats pay against the firms you actually compete with, by practice, seniority and market, read by people who price attorney offers every week.
Compensation benchmarking →Law firm leadership
Growth and lateral strategy
Where your firm is strong, where it is exposed to attrition, and which practices and markets it can realistically grow into, ending in a hiring plan you can execute.
Growth strategy →Law schools
Graduate outcomes and the lateral market
Where graduates land, how their careers move five and ten years out, and which markets are hiring them. Built for career services offices and admissions teams who need more than first-job statistics.
Law school outcomes research →How we work
Evidence first, and honest when the answer is no
Every number we hand over says where it came from and how fresh it is: law firms' own job postings and attorney listings, public records, and what our recruiting desk sees in live searches. When the evidence says a market is thin, a target is fragile or a plan won't hire, the report says so.
About
The Voll Group
The Voll Group is the consulting practice of John Voll, founder of Voll Recruiting, a national legal and healthcare recruiting firm. John built Voll Recruiting's market-intelligence platform, which tracks attorney hiring across thousands of U.S. law firms and supports every search the team runs.
The consulting practice applies that platform, and the recruiting desk's first-hand view of the market, to questions investors, law firms and law schools bring to us.
