About the job
Google's legal department is at the center of an information law revolution, and you're at its core. As a Legal Assistant, you are a driving force behind the success of your Legal team, ready to roll up your sleeves 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. You're an independent thinker who isn't afraid to ask questions, and you're organized in a way that never overlooks the details.
In this role, you will deliver projects that are integrated into an overarching project, with minimal assistance. You will 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 will interact with multiple groups within the Legal department, with internal clients across Google, and with external parties, tailoring communications to the specific audience.
