In-house counsel salaries across every industry bounced back in 2021 from the doldrums of the pandemic, with a competitive jobs market forcing recruiters to offer more bonuses, according to the latest compensation survey by executive search firm BarkerGilmore.
Close to 2,500 in-house counsel were polled as part of the 2022 In-House Counsel Compensation Report, spanning various seniority levels from both the public and private sector in the United States. Conducted between March and April, the online survey found bonuses at all in-house position types “increased drastically from 2020 levels.”
