Job Description
At Norton Rose Fulbright, people thrive because of a shared commitment to quality, unity and integrity. The highly regarded law firm consistently receives recognition from Great Place to Work and Top Workplaces, two companies that specialize in assessing organizational culture. Teams collaborate across regions, value new ideas and deliver meaningful client solutions, supported by a culture that embraces ambition, development and shared success. With more than 3,000 lawyers and 3,000 business services professionals working together across 50 offices worldwide, this global law firm provides a full range of legal services to leading corporations and financial institutions operating in key markets and sectors.
You are an accomplished attorney seeking to leverage your technical and commercial fluency in a global law firm. You are keen on not just leveraging AI for client delivery but rethinking how delivery gets executed at scale with the technology available. You are equally comfortable discussing workflows with attorneys, legal practice considerations with engineers, and translating ambiguity into commercial products. You bring a curious and conscientious mindset: focusing on client value while ensuring solutions are scalable, secure, and aligned with firm risk tolerance.
Norton Rose Fulbright has a long-standing commitment to leveraging technology to enhance legal services and streamline operations. We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced Senior AI & Innovation Counsel to play a central role in embedding AI into legal practice and driving adoption across the firm. This role sits within the US Innovation team and reports to the US Director, Head of Innovation, and collaborates closely with legal practice groups, IT, KM, and other business services functions. A successful candidate will bring strong legal practice background, a practical understanding of AI technologies, and the ability to lead a team as well as complex, cross-functional initiatives.
This is a unique opportunity to help build an AI and Innovation lawyer function inside one of the world's leading law firms -- with organizational support, a growing team, and genuine executive sponsorship. The work is consequential, the problems are hard, and the potential to reshape how legal services are delivered is real.
This role is critical to translating the firm’s AI investments into real-world impact. By combining legal judgment with practical innovation, the Senior AI & Innovation Counsel ensures that solutions are not only built -- but trusted, adopted, and embedded into how legal work gets done.
As a player-coach, this is a hands-on role where you will be focused on both your practice group and people leadership. Equally, you will build trusted relationships with attorneys and business service colleagues across the firm to drive alignment and support for the Innovation program’s initiatives.
