Last
week,
ATL
released
its
2024
report
on
in-house
compensation,
providing
a
detailed
look
at
how
much
corporate
counsel
make.
The
report
draws
on
information
from
more
than
1,100
attorneys
working
at
private
companies,
public
corporations,
and
nonprofit
organizations.
The
results
show
that
compensation
rose
in
the
last
year,
with
median
annual
pay
(including
base
salary
and
most
recent
cash
bonus)
increasing
from
$284,000
to
$300,000.
More
than
90
percent
of
the
in-house
attorneys
surveyed
reported
base
salaries
of
at
least
$150,000,
while
the
percentage
of
counsel
whose
annual
pay
reached
$1
million
or
more
has
doubled
since
2023,
from
3
percent
to
6
percent.
Compensation
for
attorneys
who
lead
their
departments
showed
the
greatest
gains,
as
median
pay
for
chief
legal
officers
and
general
counsel
climbed
12
percent,
from
$325,000
to
$365,000.
