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'll support the Legal Department across various legal and administrative tasks within larger projects. Acting as the main point of contact for both internal and external clients, you'll draft preliminary legal documents, create process documentation, and lead training sessions. You'll take ownership of well-defined projects, managing legal and business/non-legal matters of low to moderate complexity with some guidance. This includes handling documentation, conducting legal reviews, advising clients on risks and solutions, and driving process improvements.

You'll collaborate with multiple teams within the Legal Department, work closely with internal stakeholders across Google, and engage with external parties, balancing competing priorities while clearly articulating both legal and operational needs.

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.

Responsibilities
  • Oversee corporate expansions, liquidations, integrations and coordination of corporate compliance, governance and maintenance for Alphabet subsidiaries in the APAC region.
  • Plan and coordinate board/shareholder meetings in accordance with local statutory and regulatory requirements, including attending meetings, preparing board/shareholder documents, taking minutes, maintaining corporate records and internal databases. Monitor and handle required corporate and regulatory filings.
  • Serve as the primary point of contact for internal and external clients, prepare preliminary drafts of legal documents and process documentation, and lead training sessions.
  • Ensure compliance to processes and procedures, provide guidance to ensure conformity and consistency in the application of Alphabet's policies/practices.
  • Manage corporate housekeeping tasks, including document tracking, routing for signatures, distribution, filing, data organization, and handling logistics such as corporate chops, certifications, notarizations, and other special projects as requested.

Google is proud to be an equal opportunity and affirmative action employer. We are committed to building a workforce that is representative of the users we serve, creating a culture of belonging, and providing an equal employment opportunity regardless of race, creed, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity/expression, national origin, disability, age, genetic information, veteran status, marital status, pregnancy or related condition (including breastfeeding), expecting or parents-to-be, criminal histories consistent with legal requirements, or any other basis protected by law.

Google is a global company and, in order to facilitate efficient collaboration and communication globally, English proficiency is a requirement for all roles unless stated otherwise in the job posting.
