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 Paralegal – Contracts, you'll work to:
- Keep contracts moving. Own the prompt intake and first-round markup of investment-related NDAs and related documents, ensuring nothing sits in a queue longer than it should and tight client turnaround times are consistently met
- Make the process more effective. Support Carta's UK lawyers with first-round drafting and ad hoc legal work — handling the volume so attorneys can focus on the complexity
- Build workflows clients can rely on. Set up and coordinate client workflows, manage document portals, and drive contracts through to execution, giving clients a seamless, professional experience at every step.
- Hold the quality bar. Deliver crisp, commercially sound contract support that reflects Carta's reputation for precision — balancing speed with the attention to detail that private capital clients expect
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The Team You'll Work With
You'll be joining our UK Contracts team.
Reporting to a Supervising Attorney in EMEA, you'll work alongside Carta's UK lawyers and embedded AI agents to deliver high-volume contract work with the speed and consistency that private capital clients demand. This team sits at the intersection of legal expertise and technology — processing investment-related NDAs and transactional documents at a pace traditional law firms can't match.
About You
- Experienced in transactional legal work. You have 2+ years of experience recommended working within a transactional or corporate practice group, or an in-house commercial legal team — with hands-on exposure to commercial contracts and investment-related NDA drafting.
- Fast and precise under pressure. You thrive in high-volume, deadline-driven environments — you can context-switch between competing demands without letting quality slip.
- Commercially and legally grounded. You have a strong grasp of relevant legal concepts and the commercial pragmatism to apply them — you know when to flag something and when to just get it done.
- A clear communicator. Your written and verbal communication is crisp and concise — clients and colleagues get what they need from you without having to ask twice.
- A self-starter with a builder's mindset. You take ownership, spot inefficiencies, and look for ways to improve how the team operates.
- Familiar with private markets. Exposure to private capital, fund structures, or investor onboarding workflows is a strong plus.
