The Team You'll Work With

You will be joining our North America Contracts team (US and Canada). 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.

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 Paralegal, you'll work to:

Support lawyers with first-round markups of investment-related NDAs and commercial contracts
Manage document lifecycles, track deadlines, communicate with counterparties, and assist with execution
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 via the SQE route

About You

We are looking for someone who:

0-1+ years of experience (internship experience) with a bachelor's degree in law or equivalent is preferred; prior exposure to NDAs or KYC processes is a plus but not required
Eager to learn and grow. You are motivated, curious, and excited to develop expertise in legal practice – whether that is compliance, contracts, or funds
Organized and efficient. You prioritize well, manage competing deadlines, and keep matters moving without losing attention to detail
A strong communicator. You write and speak clearly and professionally, understanding that our clients expect crisp, concise advice
A self-starter. You take initiative, work independently when needed, and proactively flag issues before they become problems
A team player. You collaborate effectively with lawyers, senior paralegals, and client-facing teams across a fast-paced environment
