Practice Innovation Partner - Noetica

Thomson Reuters is building a new senior advisory function to serve our most strategic law firm accounts. The Practice Innovation Partner – Noetica is a client‑facing role operating at the intersection of AI strategy, technology transformation, and the business of law. This person engages senior firm leadership to help them think through how AI changes the way their organizations operate, compete, and deliver value — and works across the full client lifecycle from pre‑sale through post‑sale to ensure Thomson Reuters is positioned as an indispensable strategic partner.

Noetica, built by a former Wachtell Lipton transactional attorney, solves the problem of vast amounts of deal data that remains inaccessible for benchmarking and analysis. It extracts, structures, and analyzes transactional terms across millions of deals, providing real‑time, query‑able market intelligence. Integrated with CoCounsel, Noetica enables lawyers to benchmark key deal terms, perform natural‑language search, identify term trends and risk signals, and draft and negotiate with more confidence.

Responsibilities

• Serve as the senior executive advisor for a portfolio of strategic law firm accounts, engaging firm leadership and practitioners on transactional trends, AI strategy, and transformation roadmap.
• Act as the primary strategic voice for Noetica and CoCounsel’s deal intelligence capabilities with corporate, M&A, and finance practice group leaders—translating what the platform does into why it matters for their specific competitive positioning and client mandates.
• Help transactional partners and deal teams understand how AI‑native market intelligence changes how they draft, negotiate, and price work—and how firms that move early will have a structural advantage in pitching and retaining deal clients.
• Build trusted, peer‑level relationships with firm leadership that give Thomson Reuters a seat at the table when strategic technology decisions are being made, including decisions about whether to invest in deal data capabilities or build alternatives.
• Partner with the Account Executive across the full sales and relationship lifecycle—from pre‑sale and close through post‑sale—providing the executive credibility and strategic altitude that enables the broader account team to operate more effectively.
• Develop and deliver a clear, informed point of view on how AI is reshaping the economics of transactional practice— including deal staffing models, competitive differentiation on term benchmarking, and how market intelligence becomes embedded in standard deal workflow.
• Surface executive‑level insight back to TR product and business leadership on where transactional firms are investing, what is blocking adoption of deal intelligence tools, and what senior partners need that the market is not yet providing—particularly given the competitive landscape from Harvey, Legora, and Spellbook.
• Represent Thomson Reuters at senior legal industry forums, client roundtables, and executive events where firm‑level credibility and transactional expertise are the prerequisites for the room.

Qualifications

• Senior practicing transactional lawyer with senior‑level relationships across the industry.
• 5+ years of practice leadership experience within a law firm that mirrors the clients you will serve (AmLaw200 or equivalent global firm).
• Direct familiarity with the mechanics of transactional practice—how M&A and finance lawyers work, how deals get staffed, what drives partner adoption, and where friction points exist in the current deal workflow.
• Grounded point of view on how AI changes legal staffing, pricing, client delivery, and competitive positioning in transactional work, developed through direct experience.
• Fluency in the legal technology landscape, including Westlaw, CoCounsel, Practical Law, and how deal‑intelligence tools like Noetica fit into firm‑wide technology strategy and partner‑level adoption decisions.
• Ability to articulate clearly why market‑aware legal AI built on authoritative Thomson Reuters data represents a differentiated proposition.
• Executive communication skills – effective one‑on‑one with a skeptical senior partner and equally effective in a structured committee presentation or practice group strategy session.
• Collaborative by nature—work alongside CSMs, Practical Law Editors, AI Solutions Architects, Forward Deployed Engineers, and Professional Services, each owning a distinct part of the client relationship.
• Ability to operate credibly with firm leadership without a commercial agenda; you will not carry a quota, but your relationships will directly influence retention and growth of TR’s most strategic transactional accounts.
• Ability to act as a strategic bridge to the market, working directly with Noetica’s team and TR product leadership.
