paycheck compensationNew York consistently ranks among the best states for in-house leaders to rake in eye-popping cash compensation, and it's done it again. But some new names have appeared on the state's list of highest paid GCs—and there are a few more women, too. 

Half of the top 10 highest paid in-house leaders in the country are based in New York, which also had 14 in-house leaders in the top 50 of ALM's 2020 General Counsel Compensation Survey. 

The report is based on Corporate Counsel affiliate ALM Intelligence's analysis of Fortune 1000 companies' 2019 Securities and Exchange Commission filings and compilation of their top lawyers' compensation data.
