The Association of Corporate Counsel (ACC) is the world's largest organization serving the professional and business interests of attorneys who practice in the legal departments of corporations, associations, nonprofits and other private-sector organizations around the globe.

We offer a suite of company-sourced compensation benchmarking reports for large, mid-size, and small companies. Full statistical distributions are presented for nine different compensation metrics including annual base salary, short-term incentive amounts, long-term incentive amounts, and total cash compensation. The data is segmented across six demographic segments where sufficient data is available. See Report Details section at the bottom of this page for more information.

By company-sourced we mean that as part of our data collection process we allow for the data to be reported for all positions in the legal department (rather than having individuals self-report their data). For smaller departments, this might be handled by the general counsel or legal operations professional. For larger departments, this almost always requires HR or the compensation department to fill out the survey on behalf of all legal positions.
