About the job

As Corporate Counsel at Google, you work on the most exciting legal issues as disruptive technological innovations require creative and proactive legal guidance. You're part of a whip-smart group of in-house lawyers and the projects and cases you take on challenge you to think big and differently. You are collaborative -- ready to partner in initiatives that influence all aspects of the business and work with Googlers from all over the company. As an integrated part of the team, you proactively assess legal risks and advise on products that will not only move information into the 21st century, but move information law forward as well.

In this role, you will be joining a team of lawyers who are the primary legal advisers to the product managers and engineers who design, build and run the Ads products that generate most of Google's business, and that also help to power the free and open internet. As product counsel, it's your job to spot legal risk in the products for which you are given responsibility, and work with the product teams to identify ways to manage those risks (e.g., by exploring alternative product solutions with our clients). You will also work with our commercial counsel, specialist advisers (e.g., privacy counsel or competition counsel), comms team, and public policy team. You will become an expert in the products that you cover, knowing a product's functionality, and the team's business goals, more deeply than any other lawyer; and you may well become a subject matter expert on a niche area of law that impacts your products.

20th century laws don't always solve 21st century problems, and Google Legal crafts innovative approaches for working with some of the toughest legal challenges of the information age. Whether you're a patent attorney, an intellectual property expert or an engineer headed to law school, Google Legal lets you address unanswered legal quandaries and create new precedents. Our innovative services raise challenging questions that demand creative and practical answers. We provide those answers by working at the crossroads of the law and new technology, helping Google build innovative and important products for users around the world.

The US base salary range for this full-time position is $195,000-$293,000 + bonus + equity + benefits. Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location. The range displayed on each job posting reflects the minimum and maximum target salaries for the position across all US locations. Within the range, individual pay is determined by work location and additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training. Your recruiter can share more about the specific salary range for your preferred location during the hiring process.

Responsibilities

  • Advise on a range of matters such as the design of our Ads products, handling of user data, public statements relating to the products, policies that govern the use of the product and their enforcement.
  • Analyze existing legal regimes around the world to identify potential impacts on our products and future product decisions.
  • Collaborate with the product and engineering teams that run our products, also with other product counsel, lawyers in other roles at Google (e.g., commercial counsel and specialist counsel), our comms team, and our public policy team.
