The Problems You'll Solve
At Carta, our employees set out on a mission to unlock the power of equity ownership for more people in more places. We believe that the problems we solve today unlock the opportunities of tomorrow. As a Junior Funds Paralegal, you'll work to:
• Prepare initial drafts of LP transfer documents (transfer agreements, consents, subscription agreements)
• Liaise with transfer parties on process and timings, and assist with execution workflows
• Work closely with lawyers and senior paralegals, contributing to high-quality client delivery across fast-moving, high-volume matters
• Build commercial and legal expertise over time, with opportunities to take ownership of client accounts and progress towards qualification as a practicing legal professional.
The Team You'll Work With
You will be joining our Funds team in the Americas Region.
Carta Law is the largest AI-native law firm for private capital, born from the combination of Avantia Law and Carta. Our lawyers and paralegals work alongside embedded AI agents to deliver investor onboarding, transaction KYC, and high-volume legal work with a speed and consistency that traditional law firms simply can't match. As a Junior Paralegal, you will rotate across or specialise within one of three practice areas depending on your strengths and interests.
