HANOVER, Md. (PRWEB) August 07, 2014 -- General Counsel Metrics Merges its Robust Benchmarking with the Global Database & Deep Expertise of Major, Lindsey & Africa

Major, Lindsey & Africa (MLA), the world’s leading legal search firm, today announced an exclusive licensing agreement with General Counsel Metrics, LLC (GC Metrics), the leader in law department benchmarking. Together, MLA and GC Metrics will collect and compile data for future surveys and reports, which will be jointly published.

“This arrangement is part of a strategic shift that will enable MLA to better serve its corporate clients by expanding our breadth of client services,” said Miriam Frank, a Partner and Vice President of MLA's In-House Practice Group. “As the industry expert and leader in legal search, MLA is committed to acting as a ‘brain trust’ for our clients by providing critical intelligence to empower them to make the right strategic and tactical decisions for their own legal departments. We look forward to working with GC Metrics and its founder, Rees Morrison, to uncover and provide valuable, industry-leading analytics to General Counsel, executives and legal counsel on a global scale.”

GC Metrics and MLA have partnered over the past few years to develop and publish reports relating to the corporate legal community, including compensation surveys and cost/staff benchmarking products. A copy of the most recent joint report, MLA's In-House Counsel Compensation Report, is available for download at info.mlaglobal.com/in-house-counsel-compensation-report.

“General Counsel, executives and legal departments need to understand how their departments rank against their peers,” said Rees Morrison, President of GC Metrics. “I look forward to further combining our robust benchmarking strategies, data collection and reporting to provide more useful information to these communities.”

GC Metrics’ benchmarking report is issued and updated several times per year, and with more than 1,000 participants last year, is the world’s largest corporate legal department benchmark survey, covering staffing, spending and compensation. In turn, by placing the world’s top legal talent, MLA aggregates essential benchmarking information from hundreds of lawyers annually. GC Metrics’ and MLA’s exclusive licensing agreement brings an unprecedented depth and breadth of compensation and benchmarking data to this report. As with all previous reports, all data is provided in summary form and individual and company names are kept confidential.
