He was a partner with PillsburyWinthrop Shaw Pittman LLP (formerly PillsburyMadison& Sutro) in San Francisco and was named a "Northern California Super Lawyer" by Law&Politics and San Francisco Magazine. In addition to his billable practice, he was Pillsbury's pro bono coordinator and he regularly served as an arbitrator in the San Francisco Bar Association's Attorneys' Fees Dispute program.

Professor Noyes earned his B.A. from Northwestern University in 1990. After college, he worked for the United States Senate Judiciary Committee. He received his Juris Doctor, magna cum laude, from the Indiana University School of Law in 1994, where he was the Senior Managing Editor of the Indiana Law Journal.

Professor Noyes's research and writing focuses on rules of procedure, rules of evidence and contractual agreements governing dispute resolution.
