- Support product partnerships, integrations, and co‑development initiatives, working closely with Commercial and Product colleagues to ensure proper protection of Thomson Reuters intellectual property and compliance with artificial intelligence laws.
- Support development and improvement of scalable processes to support consistent decision‑making and faster execution across global teams.
- Collaborate effectively within the General Counsel’s Office and across functions, contributing to enterprise‑wide initiatives relating to AI governance, product compliance by design, and regulatory readiness.
About You

- Law degree (or equivalent/conversion) and current practicing lawyer (current bar admission/practicing certificate).
- 3+ years of relevant experience in a law firm and/or in‑house environment advising on technology‑driven products, technology transactions and / or consumer protection.
- Familiarity with, or strong interest in, AI‑related regulation and governance, as well as global intellectual property, advertising, and consumer protection laws.
- The ability to balance legal risk with business objectives, providing practical, solution‑oriented advice in situations where the law may be developing or unsettled.
- A process‑oriented mindset, with experience building, improving, or scaling legal workflows, tools, or governance models to support complex organizations.
- Strong collaboration and communication skills, with demonstrated effectiveness working in a global, matrixed operating model.
