Reliable Compensation Data for In-house Legal Professionals

The existing data available on the market for in-house counsel is notoriously variable, representing too few legal job titles, limited in the compensation metrics reported, or can only be purchased at a high cost.

Some well-known recruiting firms conduct strong salary surveys but exclusively collect self-reported data, and the data that is reported is often not Safe Harbor compliant. Or they only survey professionals looking for new career options (and large salary increases), which can report inaccurate/inflated data that is not representative of the market as a whole. As a result, there is a high degree of uncertainty among in-house legal professionals as to whether they are truly being compensated at proper market rates.

What differentiates our data from most market offerings?

The data is company-sourced and crowd-sourced (i.e., self-reported)

We know that compensation data is sought for a variety of reasons. You may be seeking to change jobs and need data to assist in compensation package negotiations during interviews. Or you may be seeking a promotion and want to know what kind of salary increase you should expect.

Companies and legal departments also need to make sure they are compensating their staff at appropriate market rates and seek out benchmarking data to stay competitive. Therefore, ACC and Empsight collect compensation data at both the company-level and the individual-level, which enables us to produce compensation reports structured to reflect the varying needs of those seeking out the data.
