General counsel salaries stagnated and bonuses slumped amid the COVID-19 pandemic and an unprecedented year of upheaval.

The 2021 General Counsel Compensation Report is based on Corporate Counsel affiliate ALM Intelligence’s analysis of Fortune 1000 companies’ 2020 Securities and Exchange Commission filings and a compilation of their top lawyers’ compensation data. Because not every general counsel is named on their company’s proxy filing, not every lawyer in the Fortune 1000 is included on our list. Our ranking is based on cash compensation, which includes salary, bonus and nonequity incentives, a post-Dodd-Frank Act form of performance-based pay.
