Charleston Legal Access (CLA) is South Carolina’s first nonprofit, sliding-scale law firm. We make legal services affordable for people who don’t qualify for free legal aid but can’t afford a private attorney. Since 2016, CLA has helped more than 1,500 clients resolve family, housing, immigration, and other civil legal issues—preserving over $3 million in assets and helping families stay safe and stable.
Our team of eight—including a Development Director, Senior Staff Attorney, two (2) staff attorneys, an Equal Justice Works Housing Fellow, an Intake and Outreach Coordinator, and a Legal Assistant—works daily to close the “justice gap” and strengthen community stability across the Lowcountry. CLA is currently expanding its impact, exploring opportunities to grow its model statewide and increase immigration assistance for the region’s diverse communities.
CLA seeks a mission-driven, relationship-oriented Executive Director to lead the organization into its next chapter of growth and impact. This is an exciting opportunity for a compassionate, community-minded leader to guide a talented team, nurture partnerships, and expand access to affordable legal help.
If you believe justice strengthens communities and enjoy leading through collaboration and purpose, we’d love to meet you.
