Compensation Surveys

93% of Firms have support staff currently working (or eligible to work) remotely. Only 18% of those Firms see “work from home” as a temporary arrangement due to COVID-19 and will likely not offer once the pandemic is over.

Each year, CBABC partners with the BC Legal Management Association (BCLMA) to produce and distribute two surveys that help BC’s law firms understand the competitive landscape for charge-out rates and business services compensation and benefits. In this changing world, benchmark information is integral for compensation planning.
