Pay packages are growing for legal department leaders in the land, including general counsel in the metro Atlanta area and Southeast region, according to the 2017 General Counsel Compensation Survey, conducted by Daily Report affiliate ALM Legal Intelligence. It's a welcome change from last year's results, which saw a slight drop in compensation, and fulfillment of executive compensation experts' predictions that Southern GCs had reason for optimism about their pay in upcoming years.
A quick word on methodology: Public companies in the United States are required to reveal the compensation of their five most highly paid executives. Despite being paid well, some prominent GCs like Atlanta-based Home Depot's Teresa Wynn Roseborough and Delta Air Lines' Peter Carter do not appear in the 2017 General Counsel Compensation Survey because they are not among the five most highly paid executives at their companies.
Acknowledging the limits of our quantitative data, the Daily Report discussed big-picture trends with Bob Graff, an Atlanta-based partner and recruiter in the in-house practice group at legal search consultants Major, Lindsey & Africa. The interview has been edited for length and clarity.
