We specialize in recruiting top legal talent — attorneys and their support staff, for law firms and corporate legal departments. 

For law firms, we partner with leading practices to place attorneys and legal support professionals who bring excellence to the courtroom, client relationships and firm operations. 

On the corporate side, we support in-house legal teams by delivering candidates who can navigate complex regulatory, compliance, and litigation matters with skill and precision.

We strategically partner with attorneys to help them build and advance their careers.  

Our network of client firms is dedicated to providing you with the essential legal support required to expand your practice with confidence and free up your time to focus on what you do best.

 By partnering with our firms, you gain the assurance that all case matters—from complex research and drafting to intricate procedural tasks, will be handled with the highest level of accuracy and professionalism. 

This structure allows your business to expand efficiently and consistently, with the confidence that your operational base is both robust and flexible enough to meet rising demands.  

Behind every great attorney is a team that makes excellence possible. We connect top-tier legal support professionals with law firms that value precision, organization, and teamwork.

Our candidates don’t just keep things running; they elevate the entire practice. From managing complex cases to streamlining client service, they bring the skill, judgment, and initiative that help firms perform at their best every day.

We believe that the true engine of a successful law firm is the strategic partnership between legal counsel and top-tier legal support professionals.    

Charleston Legal Search is a client-centric firm.  We represent firms that have made the same commitment to quality that we have.  We believe there is a direct correlation between the talent an organization hires and its continued ability to excel in a relentlessly competitive environment.  

Charleston Legal Search is equally committed to your culture and diverse talent needs.  

All firms are the sum of their people; it is our belief that credentials matter and past performance is indicative of future results.  Each candidate is evaluated via our performance based strategic process that includes sourcing of both passive and active candidates.  Candidates are thoroughly vetted, credentials are verified and reference checks are performed prior to introduction.  We are active in the facilitation of the interview,  offer, acceptance, transition process and sustained follow up. 

We represent highly sought after and credentialed Attorneys and Legal Support Professionals who are not only ready for their position at hand but those who possess the necessary traits to grow into positions of greater scope and accountability.  Given that each search is unique, we work directly with the hiring teams to ensure the correct candidate brings the experience necessary to do the job.  

Workforce optimization, cost reduction, operational efficiency, and employee productivity are key drivers in our value offering.
