The Team You’ll Work With

You’ll be joining our Carta Law Contracts team – specifically within the Contracts – EMEA function.

Our Contracts team manages the full lifecycle of commercial contracts for clients – from first review through to execution. You'll be the direct day-to-day contact for sophisticated investment fund and asset manager clients, working alongside fellow lawyers and paralegals. This team delivers high volumes of pre-M&A contract work at speed, supported by AI-backed tools

As Engagement Letter Lawyer, you’ll report to the Legal Director and handle engagement letters with minimal supervision.

The Problems You’ll Solve

At Carta, we’re transforming how private capital operates — connecting the software, services, and legal infrastructure that founders, fund managers, and legal teams depend on. We believe the problems we solve today unlock the opportunities of tomorrow. As an Engagement Letter Lawyer, you’ll work to:

  • Review, negotiate and finalise engagement letters for our clients, working from client playbooks and keeping to agreed turnaround times.
  • Be the day-to-day contact for clients on engagement letter matters, liaising directly with counterparties and resolving queries without escalation where you can.
  • Keep client playbooks current by feeding back the positions and fallback terms you see in negotiations.
  • Support the wider Contracts team on NDAs and other routine commercial contracts as volumes require.
  • Use our AI-backed tools in your daily work, give product feedback, and share what you learn with paralegals and junior lawyers.

About You

  • Transactional experience. You have 5+ years’ PQE and have independently negotiated engagement letters and similar pre-M&A contracts.
  • Licensed to practise. You are qualified to practise law in UK / Europe / US or Canada.
  • Familiar with financial services. You have worked with asset managers, investment banks or other financial services firms and understand their expectations.
  • Commercially minded and client-focused. You give crisp, practical advice and build trust with sophisticated clients.
  • Tech-savvy. You are comfortable with AI-backed legal tools, and an interest in legal tech is a strong plus.
  • A self-starter. You take ownership, prioritise well in a fast-paced environment, and look for ways to improve how we work.

At Carta, you’re not just an employee. You’re a builder who is creating infrastructure that accelerates innovation and empowers more ownership. Cartans are helpful, relentless, unconventional and kind; representing Carta’s Identity Traits. They work collaboratively and cross functionally to challenge the status quo; working towards a common goal of creating more owners in the private markets.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
