Cash is king here: Our ranking of the highest-paid general counsel is based on total cash compensation in 2018. But most of these lawyers received big equity payouts too.
Where We Get Our Numbers
ALM Legal Intelligence combs through Fortune 1000 companies’ proxies in order to compile a list of general counsel salaries.
