The ACC 2018 Global Compensation Report is an incredible resource.
Drawn from responses from more than 5,000 in-house counsel across 65 countries, it is one of the most comprehensive surveys of its type ever done. In addition to providing comp data for eight in-house roles, ranging from top legal dog (CLO/GC/Head of Legal) to counsel, we also get significant data on compliance roles, corporate secretaries and legal operations professionals. Smartly, ACC offers a 12-month subscription to an online interactive dashboard so you can slice and dice the data yourself and create custom reports. Check it out here. As you check out the survey, keep in mind that ACC is a broad-based association. Many of the law departments surveyed are smaller – 75% have budgets under $3M – and half are private companies.
