About the Role
Seeking a Senior Counsel for a fixed-term contract to advise on and negotiate complex SaaS, software, data, and technology agreements supporting the global sale of Thomson Reuters products and services. This role requires a hands-on commercial lawyer with deep experience on the supplier (sell) side of technology transactions, taking a practical, problem-solving approach within a technology-enabled, data-driven legal department. You will be a trusted advisor to Sales, Product Management, and other business teams, spotting and analyzing legal issues, drafting and negotiating agreements, providing commercially sound recommendations, and ensuring legal compliance. The role sits within the Customers & Commercial team of the Thomson Reuters General Counsel Office, a collaborative team that helps the business grow while managing risk across the customer-facing commercial organization.

- Work within the Customers & Commercial team identifying legal, regulatory, and compliance requirements and risks associated with various business initiatives and developing and implementing appropriate mitigation strategies.
- Work with members of the General Counsel Office on enterprise-wide legal issues and projects.
- Research and respond to general legal inquiries from Thomson Reuters internal customers related to corporate, commercial, intellectual property, and compliance matters, including privacy-related matters, and advise the business on appropriate legal action.
Requirements
- 7 years minimum post-qualification experience in private practice and/or as in-house legal counsel advising on the sell rather than the buy side.
- Excellent written/verbal English language communication skills.
- Excellent technical legal knowledge in contract and commercial law, particularly with SaaS products and solutions.
