Business Attorney - Senior Corporate & Commercial Transactions Lawyer; Remote

Business Attorney – Senior Corporate & Commercial Transactions Lawyer (Remote)

Our name says it all. Karra comes from the Greek word "Chara," meaning joy, because we believe working with attorneys should not feel like a necessary evil. We are here to bring some joy back into the legal world, both for our clients and the people who work alongside us.

Here is the thing: we were not built by career law firm partners who have always done it this way. We are 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 have cut out the bloat, the politics, and the old school mentality. What is left is refreshingly simple: great work with great clients.

Karra Law is hiring a remote full-time senior business attorney to join our team serving high growth startups and modern businesses.

You will spend a large portion of your time drafting and negotiating commercial agreements and acting as outside general counsel on day-to-day legal questions. Work includes commercial contracts, privacy policies, terms of service, online product terms, and a steady flow of general business issues.

You will work directly with founders and leadership teams, structure companies and ownership, 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 compensation structure, with meaningful upside tied to contributions, giving you the chance to build long‑term value in something you are helping create, all with the support and infrastructure of a forward‑thinking practice.
