For over 20 years, the annual Harbor Law Department Survey has been the premier source of benchmarking data used by general counsel and legal operations leaders of major corporations.
This year, the Harbor Law Department Survey in collaboration with CLOC (Corporate Legal Operations Consortium) broadened the reach of the survey, resulting in more robust benchmarking data for the legal industry. With an expanded section on legal operations and more specific questions on AI, participants will find the results highly relevant in today’s fast-changing business environment.
More than ever, having relevant peer benchmarks will be critical to enabling the law department of the future.
From outlook on internal
staffing and spending on outside counsel, to use of technology to address
demand for legal services, the 2024 edition identifies market trends and top
priorities for law departments at leading corporations.
For corporate law departments, these insights add to your understanding of where the market is headed and help direct your business planning. Benchmarks are available by industry, revenue, law department size, and geography.
For law firm leaders, the survey findings provide an understanding on macro client spending and staffing patterns and emerging legal operations trends, so your firm is aligned with current and potential client demands; equipped for proactive client engagement; and informed into growth strategies for specific practice areas.
Participating organizations will receive access to an executive summary report and a personalized “read out" of key benchmarks.
