Google’s chief legal officer is getting a $1.73 million discretionary bonus this year, on top of a base salary of $500,000.

The compensation is outlined in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, according to PaidContent.org and the San Jose Mercury News.

Proxy materials released last year showed Drummond earned a $450,000 salary in 2008 and made a $1.38 million bonus. He also had $3.29 million in stock and option awards, according to the proxy materials.

The 2010 SEC filing does not list stocks and options.

Drummond, a former partner at Wilson Sonsini Goodrich and Rosati, joined Google in 2002, initially as vice president of corporate development.
