Application Form

Carolina Legal Associates, founded in 1996 by Marsha Silver and Terry Kelley, brings over 25 years of unparalleled experience in the legal profession and legal staffing industry. We were among the first agencies to recognize and introduce the value of contract attorneys for specialized legal projects, revolutionizing how law firms approach flexible legal talent. Since our inception, we’ve successfully facilitated thousands of legal placements across South Carolina and North Carolina.

Currently, Meghan Carter and Terry Kelley spearhead our operations, dedicated to providing a personal touch to legal recruitment and placement. Their commitment to the legal community is evident through their active involvement with prominent organizations, including the South Carolina Bar Association and the South Carolina Association for Justice (formerly The South Carolina Trial Lawyers Association).

We actively support legal education and professional development, working closely with the University of South Carolina Joseph F. Rice School of Law and the Charleston School of Law. Carolina Legal Associates is a sustaining member of the Palmetto Paralegal Association and support local chapters of the National Association for Legal Support Professionals. Our team collaborates extensively with college and university paralegal programs, serving on the Advisory Committees for ABA-approved programs at South University and Midlands Technical College, ensuring the highest standards in legal support education.
