Disclosing Compensation Levels

by Editors on July 25, 2005

Does your law department disclose its pay scale? Should it? Hear what Rees Morrison of Law Department Management has to say:

"If a law department has more than five lawyers at a pay level, the general counsel should disclose the highs and lows of salary and bonuses in that range. Disclosure promotes a culture of openness – even more powerfully when it reveals such sensitive information as pay – and reduces time-consuming gossip and backbiting about salaries. It can ease worries about inequitable treatment and can push management to benchmark compensation against the market."
