2018 Legal Department Benchmarking Report—Mid-Size Company Supplement

May 22, 2018   Surveys  
  

Each year, ACC surveys the heads of legal departments globally to better understand the status of top legal officers within the in-house legal profession as well as to acquire in-depth operations data to help legal departments make more informed business decisions. This report is one among three benchmarking supplements that specifically focus on reporting benchmarking metrics within different company sizes. The data presented in this report represents 655 legal departments in companies with between $100 million and $2.9 billion in annual gross revenue. We present a host of standardized metrics including department spend, cost, staffing, workload, and work allocation measures. We further segment these metrics across industries, department sizes, and number of lawyers and present a full set of numerical visualizations.
