If I could only choose one legal peer group, [The L Suite] would be it. After a decade of practice, I’ve finally found my fellow in-house tech lawyer humans.
You have the best sounding board you could dream up. The people here are extraordinarily generous with their time and expertise. These have honestly been some of the most rewarding and stimulating conversations in my career! As if that wasn’t enough, the amazing [L Suite] team is always serving up the most timely webinars that are full of pertinent actionable guidance.
Unique Data & Insights
Unlock access to coveted and previously unknown data, insights, and emerging trends from across the ecosystem.
Compensation Surveys
Compensation data is highly-confidential and notoriously difficult to find. Our exclusive give-to-get annual comp surveys close that knowledge gap, with detailed analyses and dynamic breakdowns across the full range of relevant variables.
Topical Surveys
We go deep with insights and analysis on the core day-to-day topics that our members are grappling with. This includes everything from cloud transaction contract terms to privacy trends to cybersecurity best practices, and much more.
Benchmarking Surveys
We periodically survey our members to provide helpful benchmarking data on evergreen operating topics as well as rapidly emerging new situations. From legal department sizing to market condition adjustments (layoffs, budget cuts), and everything in between.
I always find these reports super helpful when negotiating my salary each year!
Concentric circles of your closest peers
