Minority Corporate Counsel Association
Report • Compensation
A report released today by the Project for Attorney Retention and the Minority
Corporate Counsel Association, based on a survey of nearly 700 women law
firm partners, concludes that existing compensation systems for lawyers open
the door to gender bias because they contain tremendous subjectivity, lack
transparency, and because so much of the negotiation surrounding salaries
takes place out of sight.
