Above the Law Launches Comprehensive Survey to Benchmark In-House Legal Compensation

In a significant expansion to its annual coverage, Above the Law is inviting in-house attorneys and legal operations professionals to participate in a pioneering compensation survey. This initiative aims to gather and share detailed pay information across various roles within corporate law departments.

For years, Above the Law has been the go-to source for data on in-house counsel salaries through its highly regarded In-House Compensation Report. In a move to provide even more extensive insights, this year’s survey will include legal operations professionals, a group that plays a crucial role in the efficiency and effectiveness of legal departments but often remains behind the scenes in compensation studies.

Participation in the survey is straightforward and completely anonymous, ensuring the confidentiality of all respondents. It only takes a few minutes to complete, making it both accessible and non-intrusive. Legal professionals can simply visit the provided link to contribute their data.

The results of the survey will be compiled into a comprehensive report later this year. This report will offer valuable benchmarking information, helping legal professionals understand how their compensation compares with peers in similar roles and geographical locations. Additionally, the findings will assist law departments in making informed decisions about salary structures and benefits to attract and retain top talent.

Above the Law's commitment to providing up-to-date, transparent, and actionable compensation data reflects its dedication to supporting the legal community. By participating, legal professionals not only gain insight into their market worth but also contribute to a broader understanding of compensation trends in the legal industry.
