Table of Contents
Introduction
This study provides medians and quartiles for total compensation (base salary + cash bonus + deferred compensation + equity) and cash compensation (base salary + cash bonus + deferred compensation) earned by legal and compliance professionals at alternative managers in 2024 across a variety of variables.
423 General Counsels, Associate General Counsels and Chief Compliance Officers participated in the study. The managers they work for span private equity funds, private credit funds, venture funds, hedge funds, blended funds, funds of funds, family offices and the alternative asset management divisions of major financial institutions.
The results speak for themselves.
