“InsideCounsel’s 2008 Comp Report measures law department compensation using Hildebrandt’s Law Department Survey and Altman Weil’s Law Department Compensation Benchmarking Survey. Hildebrandt surveyed 202 companies on 2006 year-end data. The median respondent company had more than $10 billion in worldwide revenues, 20,000-plus employees and a U.S. law department with nearly 30 lawyers. Altman Weil used data from March 2007 provided by 343 companies. More than half had 5,000 or fewer employees, while 20 percent had more than 15,000. Also, 64 percent had annual revenue of $3 billion or less while 19 percent exceeded $10 billion.” By Melissa Maleske, Yesenia Salcedo, published in the March 2008 issue of InsideCounsel.
