‘Tis the season when top in-house legal officers get a taste of what outside counsel go through every year when the Am Law 100 is published.
There it is for all the world to see: “What’s in your wallet?” That’s because summer is the season when ALM, publisher of The American Lawyer, and the Association of Corporate Counsel drop their annual compensation reports on inside and outside counsel. Yes, it’s a bit crass, but it sure makes for juicy summer reading. We can’t do justice to all the data here – it’s voluminous – but these morsels should give you a taste. Note that both ACC and ALM now offer interactive charts that make it all-too-easy to drill into the dollars in search of deeper meaning. Spoiler alert: You won’t find it.
