On January 1, Susan Taylor Martin became President of Thomson Reuters Legal; she is a veteran of Thomson Reuters, but not of the legal division. She had previously been running TRL and Practical Law Corporation in England and Ireland, but most of her career (spanning more than 20 years) had been at Reuters. She is the first woman to serve as President of Thomson Reuters Legal, a big ship that must turn quickly: she is charged with executing Thomson Reuters’s new focus on software solutions over pure legal publishing.
