As a Legal Assistant, you will contribute to the success of your Legal team, ready to participate directly to create and improve processes, maintain records, conduct legal research, and coordinate communications across the team. As you closely support your team, you may find yourself working with multiple groups within the Legal Department, internal clients across Google, and external parties.
In this role, you will deliver full pieces of a project that are integrated into an overarching project, with minimal assistance. You'll provide support to the Legal Department on various legal and administrative matters within projects of moderate impact, risk, and complexity, managing information and documentation, conducting legal reviews, advising clients on risks and solutions, and improving processes. You will address commonly escalated issues or triage by responding promptly and thoroughly to requests from inside and outside of the Legal Department while also developing and proactively implementing recommendations and solutions outside of established procedures to solve problems of moderate complexity based on user/client feedback. You'll interact with multiple groups within the Legal Department, with internal clients across Google, and with external parties, tailoring your communications to the specific audience. You will also engage in community contributions to improve and sustain our culture and operations - making Google a better place to work.
