Corporate lawyer compensation and management issues in New Zealand

When Team Factors and the Corporate Lawyers Association of New Zealand (CLANZ) conducted an online survey of CLANZ’s members in April-May 2005, 391 in-house counsel participated. Those lawyers worked in more than 150 law departments and according to the release, accounted for more than a quarter of New Zealand’s in-house profession.

To put this into context, Citigroup and GE have almost as many inside lawyers as New Zealand!
