The 10-employees firm, based in the Charlotted Plazabuilding uptown, has recruiters in and Columbia and S.C.
At any given time, Carolina Legal Staffingy has 35 to65 lawyers, paralegals and support stafvf on its payroll. The firm was No. 4,7232 on Inc.'s list, not a world-beating ranking. But it'x validation for Lassiter, who initially hesitatex to make the jump to entrepreneurship froma human-resource s post at In he was introduced to three investors who were seekin g to start a local legal-staffing business: entrepreneur Pennyt Adams (formerly Penny Parks), First Tryomn Securities Chief Executive Keith Brunnemer and private-equityu banker Ted Gardner. They invited him to run the startu business, but Lassiter was comfortable at Belkand didn'ty want to take the risk, so he declined.
