It gathers anonymized insights from hundreds of legal ops professionals every year, including data on:

  • Compensation: Base salary, cash bonus, and equity
  • Company: Industry and legal department size
  • Role: Job level, reporting line, and management responsibility
  • Location: Country and state (if in the United States)
