Summary

Google’s Legal Department addresses cutting-edge issues that run from driverless cars to green-energy power cables for the Eastern Seaboard and legal hot spots from China to Turkey. Our legal department today consists of more than 900 legal team members, a significant growth from the one lawyer that made up the legal department in 2001. The unique culture of Google itself has inspired the legal department to innovate in ways that are more progressive than most companies of a similar size. The Google Legal Team supports the vision of the company’s engineers who are trying to create new technologies that will have an international impact on the lives of people. Accordingly, our legal team focuses its support on the interests of the users of the company’s technology and defends Google so that it can continue to focus on the company vision.
