About KARRA
Our name says it all. Karra comes from the Greek word "Chara," meaning joy, because we believe working with attorneys shouldn't feel like a necessary evil. We're here to bring some joy back into the legal world, both for our clients and the people who work alongside us.
Heres the thing: we weren't built by career law firm partners who've always done it this way. Were entrepreneurs (and lawyers) who looked at our industry and thought: There has to be a better way.
Our firm is powered by modern systems and smart automation, letting us focus on high-leverage work. We believe the future of legal lies in combining human judgment with smart technology. We use AI to amplify our efforts and streamline workflows, while preserving the nuance and care that great lawyering demands.
We've cut out the bloat, the politics, and the old-school mentality. What's left is refreshingly simple: great work with great clients.

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

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)

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 firms growth
