General Counsel Metrics: Global Law Department Benchmarking Report

by Editors on August 8, 2010

Rees Morrison at General Counsel Metrics, LLC has created the largest benchmarking report ever for legal departments. Its second release, in July, covered 501 law departments from 36 countries (more than 45 from Canada) and 19 industries. The smallest quarter reported from 1 to 3 lawyers while the largest had from 26 lawyers to well more than 600. The next release will publish in mid-September with more than 600 participants.

The confidential online survey asks for only six pieces of law department data so it is easy to complete. The 58-page report has 25 charts (one for each benchmark metric) and five tables, all with metrics that are normalized and aggregated. It contains ratios for industry benchmarks as well as to benchmarks for departments by country, number of lawyers, region, and company revenue. Participants receive their report at no cost.
