ALA's Compensation and Benefits Survey is the most comprehensive report that ALA puts together annually. Gain insight into data from nearly 1,000 law firms nationwide with more than 400 pages of information to serve as an essential tool for determining compensation and benefits for your firm's staff. Data is further broken down by region, state and metro area, making it even easier to compare your firm against competitors.
