Innovation Attorney & Practice Advisor

About the role

The Innovation Attorney & Practice Advisor is a core member of the Practice Innovation & Technology team, serving as a trusted, practice-embedded consultant who works side-by-side with MoFo attorneys to reimagine how legal services are delivered. This role bridges the gap between the substantive practice of law and the transformative potential of AI and emerging technologies.

Responsibilities

• Serve as a consultative partner to practice leaders and attorneys to diagnose substantive legal workflows and identify where AI and technology can deliver measurable value.
• Apply legal practice experience to critically analyze existing workflows in collaboration with attorneys — moving beyond incremental improvements to architect truly reimagined delivery models that leverage AI tools.
• Lead working sessions with client teams and matter teams to surface pain points and co-develop solutions grounded in real-world legal practice.
• Act as a trusted peer to partners and associates, leveraging your own practice experience to build credibility, navigate firm dynamics, and drive change in a high-stakes professional environment.
• Lead the execution of AI pilots and proof-of-concept programs within practice groups, managing the full lifecycle from use case identification through evaluation and enterprise deployment.
• Collaborate on AI Tool Adoption & Enablement:
• Collaborate with the Program Manager on the "last mile" of AI adoption within assigned practice groups — from initial awareness through trust-building to habitual, high-quality use of AI tools in daily legal work.
• Collaborate with Technology Trainers to design and deliver tailored training, coaching sessions, and hands-on demonstrations that help attorneys understand how, when, why to use AI tools.
• Collaborate with the Sr. Product Manager to configure, test, and refine AI tools for practice-specific use cases, translating attorney needs into product requirements and feedback loops.
• Collaborate with the Program Manager to define success metrics, track adoption data, and build compelling business cases for scaling successful pilots.
• Collaborate with the firm's Knowledge & Practice Intelligence function to ensure that firm precedents, playbooks, and institutional knowledge are structured and accessible to power AI tools effectively.
