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.

As an Investigations Counsel you will join a global team that addresses the highest and emerging risks pertaining to how we manage, support, and respond to the workforce. You will work closely with Global Affairs, POps, Communications, Engineering, and other investigation teams.

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.

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.
