This week, Corporate Counsel released its 2025 General Counsel Compensation Report, featuring pay for legal chiefs at Fortune 1000 companies.
The tech sector dominates the upper portion of the ranking, with chief legal officers at tech companies holding 13 of the top 20 spots, including that of the highest-paid CLO. The top four legal chiefs — at Alphabet, Broadcom, Apple, and Amazon, respectively — each earned more than $20 million, with stock representing the bulk of their packages.
Compensation for most GCs isn’t quite so high. Median pay for all 544 legal leaders ranked in the report is $2.95 million.
