Senior Venture Capital & Emerging Companies Attorney - Fully Remote

Senior Venture Capital & Emerging Companies Attorney - Fully Remote

Karra Law is hiring a remote full-time senior corporate attorney to join our team serving high-growth startups and modern businesses. This role is perfect for someone who brings deep experience in venture capital financings and emerging company work, and who also wants to flex across a broader range of strategic legal matters.

You'll work directly with founders, structure companies, and serve as outside GC for a variety of different businesses. This is a high-trust, high-impact role designed for a lawyer who moves fast, thinks commercially, and wants to help build a new kind of firm.

This is a rare opportunity to get in early and help shape the future of a modern firm. We offer a rewarding, founder-style compensation structure, with meaningful upside tied to contributions, giving you the chance to build long-term value in something you're helping create - all with the support and infrastructure of a forward-thinking practice.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead venture financings (SAFEs, convertible notes, preferred stock), from term sheet to closing, including negotiation and investor counsel interactions
• Advise on startup structuring: formations, founder equity splits, IP assignments, holding companies, and cap table planning
• Advise on corporate governance and equity matters, including restricted stock, option plans, 83(b), and investor onboarding
• Serve as outside general counsel on day-to-day legal matters, board governance, employment questions, and commercial contracts, balancing legal risk and business strategy
• Stay adaptable and willing to learn new verticals and areas of law as client needs evolve

Requirements:

• Juris Doctor (JD) from an accredited law school
• 5+ years of corporate experience, with significant focus on venture capital financings and emerging companies
• Trained at a Big Law firm or elite boutique with substantial exposure to venture capital transactions (company-side or investor-side), emerging company work, and/or M&A
• Active attorney license in good standing
• Confident owning matters and managing client relationships
• Enjoy the pace and energy of early-stage companies and speak the language of founders
• Comfortable advising across a wide range of matters (and interested in learning what you don't yet know)
• Operate with a business-first mindset: practical, fast-moving, and solution-oriented
• Want to build a new type of law firm with us

Bonus Points For:

• Experience with M&A, secondary sales, or more complex capital events
• Familiarity with tech stack tools
• Interest in productizing legal services or experimenting with tech and AI-enabled delivery

What We Offer:

• Competitive full-time base salary (commensurate with experience)
• Additional earning potential commensurate with the firm’s growth
• Flexible, fully-remote team culture - no face-time expectations or big-firm posturing
• Tech, automation, and support to help you succeed
• Transparent fee-sharing structure for client origination and key accounts
• Real ownership: you'll help shape how we grow, operate, and innovate
