How much do your clients earn? Not as much as top rainmakers at Am Law 100 firms, according to sibling publication Corporate Counsel, which rates the 100 best-paid general counsel based on 2014 proxy filings of public companies. But chief legal officers aren’t exactly hurting.
This year, Alan Braverman, general counsel of The Walt Disney Co., leads the pack with a handsome $6,699,231 in total cash compensation. Representing Mickey and friends is a pretty good gig. Braverman made a base salary of $1,374,231, plus a performance-based bonus of $5,325,000. That wasn’t all. The survey ranks top-earning GCs by their cash compensation, but Braverman’s pay packet, like that of most others, included nearly $2 million in stock awards and more than $1 million in stock options as well.
