Associate Product Counsel

Job Description

As Associate Product 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 Associate Product Counsel at YouTube, you'll develop and implement legal approaches and policies, helping product and operations teams make decisions based upon your sound legal judgment. You'll be responsible for providing legal advice across many areas of law, including copyright, privacy, content regulation and consumer protection, and will also support your colleagues in legal, operations, government relations and public relations on a range of product matters. This includes collaborating with Google lawyers outside the U.S. on critical matters, including litigation and regulatory work.

20th century laws don't always solve 21st century problems, and Google Legal crafts innovative approaches for handling 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 take on 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.
