This year’s list of the highest-paid general counsel at Pennsylvania-based public companies looked quite a bit different from last year’s, with several new names in the mix and a lot of movement among the familiar faces as average cash compensation dropped in 2017 following a bump in 2016.

In 2016, total cash compensation—salary, bonus and nonequity incentive plan compensation—among Pennsylvania GCs rose by 16.3 percent, from an average of $704,000 to $818,444. But in 2017, that number dipped by 8.5 percent to $748,881.
