The Team You'll Work With

You'll be joining our Funds team, specifically within the LP Transfers function.

Our LP Transfers team manages the end-to-end transfer process for limited partner interests across multiple client accounts each quarter. Working alongside paralegals and senior lawyers, you'll own day-to-day client relationships and serve as the primary point of contact for complex multi-party transfer workflows. This team operates at the cutting edge of legal delivery, using AI-backed tools to deliver consistent, high-quality outcomes for some of the world's most sophisticated asset managers and investment funds.

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 Funds Delivery Lawyer – LP Transfers, you'll work to:

  • Supervise and mentor paralegals through complex LP transfer processes, ensuring documentation is accurate, timely, and aligned with client playbooks and SLAs
  • Serve as the primary point of contact for clients and counterparties, coordinating KYC/AML, transfer documentation, signing, and post-closing actions
  • Own and evolve client playbooks and negotiation parameters, escalating material issues to the Legal Director while maintaining deal momentum
  • Build and deepen trusted client relationships, positioning Carta as the go-to partner for LP transfer work
  • Support business development by contributing to new client pitches alongside the Growth team

About You

We are looking for someone who is:

  • Experienced in funds law. You have a strong background in LP transfers, closed-ended funds, or private markets work and can independently manage complex transfer processes.
  • Client-focused and commercially minded. You build strong relationships with sophisticated asset manager and investment fund clients and know how to communicate clearly under pressure.
  • A natural leader and mentor. You have experience supervising and developing junior lawyers and paralegals, and can manage team performance across multiple simultaneous workflows.
  • Detail-driven and execution-focused. You thrive on getting deals done – you prioritise effectively, handle competing deadlines, and do not lose momentum.
  • Tech-savvy. You are comfortable working with AI-backed legal tools and are curious about the role of technology in modern legal delivery.
  • Licensed to practice. You are qualified in England & Wales or a comparable jurisdiction. 5+ years of relevant experience recommended.

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.
