During the frenzy of BigLaw’s bonus season, it’s time to take a moment to look at law department compensation by way of our latest report. As every year, the findings are presented in collaboration with Paragon Legal, once again throwing light onto the often opaque world of in-house legal remuneration.
In 2023, more than 1,900 in-house professionals took part in our survey. They hail from across the U.S., lending breadth to our data, and work in a remarkably diverse selection of industries within companies of all sizes. This has allowed us to compile a fascinating picture of the current landscape of law department pay, encompassing base pay, bonuses, raises, stock, and more.
Notably, the 2023 report includes some new elements. For the first time, it offers data segmented by the seniority level of respondents. This gives a clear view of how compensation scales as professionals move up the ranks. In addition, a novel section in this year’s report focuses on the highest-paid General Counsels in the industry.
