A new survey coming out of the U.K. shows that legal spend and priorities within the department differ based on whether a male or female is in charge.
U.K.-based legal research firm Acritas Research Ltd. surveyed nearly 1,800 senior in-house counsel across the globe for its 2016 Diversity Report and found that men earn more—and they plan to spend more. In fact, overall legal spend by men is expected to increase by 12 percent in the next year. Women, however, have no intention of upping their overall legal budgets.
