Associate Product Counsel, Search Ads and Commerce

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.
The Search Ads Product Counsel team comprises a group of lawyers providing legal advice to the product managers and engineers in two of Google's most strategically important business lines: the Search Ads and Ads on Google Experiences (SAGE) team and the Google Shopping team. Our lawyers support flagship products like search ads, shopping ads, organic shopping, and AdSense for Search, as well as the business generation of nearly all of Google's owned and operated properties, including Search, Google Maps, Gmail, and Discover. We advise product and engineering teams on all aspects of legal and regulatory risk, with a particular focus on competition, consumer protection, and privacy law. We also partner closely with Regulatory Affairs, Litigation, and outside counsel on the strategic defense and response to regulatory investigations and active litigation. In this role, you will demonstrate strong investigative skills, leverage legal expertise and be passionate about product counselling.
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.
