In a legal world being rewritten by automation, AI, and global compliance, Puranjay Trehan stands out as one of the sharpest young voices redefining what it means to be a modern legal professional. A lawyer-turned-legal-tech consultant, and now a Senior Consultant at Thomson Reuters, he has carved a niche at the intersection of law, software, and organizational transformation. His expertise in CLM systems, cross-regional implementations, analytics, and workflow redesign has made him a go-to strategist for businesses scaling legal operations across continents.

But beneath the tech and terminology lies a curious, grounded, and creative mind — someone shaped by science, trained through law, and refined by hands-on consulting across global giants like Sirion, Goldman Sachs, and Thomson Reuters. This Koffee Conversation captures Puranjay’s evolution from a science student to a legal innovator, and the mindset that fuels his passion for problem-solving, mentorship, and tech-driven impact

Puranjay’s journey into legal tech wasn’t planned — it was sparked by curiosity. After completing law, he stumbled into SirionLabs, where he discovered the world of contracts, ML-driven review systems, and legal operations. What began as an experiment soon became his professional foundation, giving him mastery over CLM design, integrations, and product behavior — long before legal tech became mainstream in India.

His next leap came at Goldman Sachs, where he learned to operate at scale — managing multi-jurisdictional processes, heavy compliance requirements, and sensitive workflows. Today at Thomson Reuters, he blends all three pillars: technology, process consulting, and change management. Alongside his role, he’s grown into one of India’s top LinkedIn voices in legal tech, creating content, mentoring young lawyers, and shaping the next wave of legal innovation.

Key Highlights of the Koffee Conversation with Puranjay Trehan:

  • Transitioned from traditional law into legal tech driven purely by curiosity.
  • Enjoys products that focus on solving real user problems, not just showcasing features.
  • Biggest challenge in global implementations: balancing personalities, processes & policies across regions.
  • Believes adoption succeeds when tech stays close to existing processes, not disrupts them blindly.
  • Explains CLM benefits by speaking in lawyer language — time saved, steps reduced, risk minimized.
  • Legal tech has evolved from convincing lawyers why to helping them choose which solution.
  • AI now powers review, analytics, matter management & end-to-end contract cycles.
  • Learned fundamentals at Sirion, scale at Goldman Sachs, and global consulting at Thomson Reuters.
  • Advocates for simple, intuitive UX — “If a product confuses a lawyer, the tech has failed.”
  • Thought leadership for him means sharing openly — no gatekeeping in niche domains.
  • Draws inspiration from managers, US-based legal tech creators & Indian innovators.
  • Strong believer that young lawyers must master basics of both law + baseline tech.
  • Encourages students to experiment before committing to legal tech as a career.
  • Family has always supported his unconventional choices, from science to law to tech.
  • His creative escapes: cooking, long drives, debates, youth parliaments & deep conversations.
