2020 Healthcare & Life Sciences In-House Compensation Report | 3

Introduction BarkerGilmore is pleased to present the first In-House Counsel Compensation Report devoted exclusively to the Healthcare and Life Sciences industries.

BarkerGilmore is positioned as the leading executive search partner for legal, compliance, privacy, and risk departments in the healthcare and life sciences industries. Over 35% of our engagements in the last three years were with healthcare, life sciences, or related organizations. The uptick in activity in this space, combined with the high demand for our annual In-House Counsel Compensation Report, led to the creation of the ensuing report, dedicated exclusively to our healthcare and life sciences clients. This report is designed to assist candidates and employers alike in benchmarking legal department compensation, applying peer comparison, and identifying overarching pay trends.

The 2020 Healthcare & Life Sciences In-House Counsel Compensation Report distinguishes healthcare organizations from life sciences companies, creating two distinct categories. Often, thought leadership and industry assessments blend these two spaces, offering skewed results and misinterpretations. For legal departments, it is especially critical to separate these two major industries due to the large variation in regulatory requirements, transactional perspectives, and product expertise.

This report also acknowledges a wide variety of organization types, sizes, and sub-industries. For example, within the healthcare sample, in-house counsel data points range from small non-profit, 2-hospital systems to large national public health systems. Within life sciences, the samples range from pre-clinical biotechnology start-ups to established big pharma companies with over $30B in revenue.

The 2020 Healthcare and Life Sciences Compensation report provides a unique, industry-specific benchmarking and trend tracking tool for attorneys and employers to navigate a highly competitive market. Due to the wide range of samples involved, readers should consider many of these benchmarks as overarching trends. To gain a more wholistic and detailed view of specific figures, BarkerGilmore owns the capability to drill-down and advise on this proprietary data for specific search or consulting engagements. We look forward to partnering with you and recommend downloading our other annual in-house counsel, general counsel, and compliance officer compensation reports at www.barkergilmore.com.

BarkerGilmore acknowledges the importance of compensation breakdown for organizations and their human resources departments to formulate pay strategies, and for lawyers looking to expand their roles or leverage experience for new positions. While this report aims to provide a comprehensive breakdown of legal department compensation structures, we must advise that there are several additional variables that must always be considered when dealing with compensation figures. These variables include an individual’s unique experiences, abilities, and interpersonal skills, as well as the organization’s financial position and the strength of the local economy.

To present the most valuable and reliable data, BarkerGilmore has combined its expertise in executive legal recruitment and consulting with extensive survey data to highlight a diverse array of in-house counsel compensation. The information in this report is meant to provide general guidelines, and while it delivers extremely detailed information, we urge readers to consider the multitude of factors affecting the results and to focus on overall data trends displayed in the graphs and charts.

In contrast, salary increase rates for in-house counsel at life sciences organizations peaked to 5.2% in 2017 and fell to 4% in 2018, below the overall median.

Those in life sciences are least likely to engage in a job search, with over 65%reporting low or very low probability of a job search in the next year.

3. Gender Pay Trends: Across position level and company type, female in-house counsel at healthcare organizations earn 87% of what male in-house counsel earn. The disparity is greater at life sciences companies, with females earning just 81% of their male counterparts.The size of the gender-driven pay disparity varies significantly by position level. In healthcare, female general counsel earn 13% less than their male counterparts, and female senior counsel also earn 13% less than their male counterparts. Interestingly, the disparity reverses at the managing counsel level, with females earning 15% more than their male counterparts.In life sciences, female general counsel earn 21% less than their male counterparts, and female senior counsel earn 19% less than their male counterparts.

Survey Design BarkerGilmore conducted an online survey from February to April 2019 to assess in-house counsel compensation trends for the year of 2018. The 19-question online survey was administered to a random sample of in-house counsel at various levels of seniority within different sized public and private organizations across the United States. The following table presents the data categories captured by the survey through a combination of multiple-choice and open-ended questions, answered by over 2,000 individuals from an assortment of industries and practice areas. 20% of all respondents reported employment with a healthcare or life sciences organization, the demographic focus of the ensuing report. To supplement the smaller sample size, this report utilizes benchmarking information from BarkerGilmore’s proprietary candidate database, collected within the same time frame as the survey, providing a total of nearly 1,000 data points for this report.

Data Methods & Analysis

Measure of Central Tendency This report utilizes median as the main method of standardization for the sample statistics collected from BarkerGilmore’s 2019 Compensation Survey and proprietary candidate database. The median can be described as the middle or central value in a given sequence of numbers. In an even set of numbers, the median is calculated as the average of the two middle numbers. This report applies median calculation for all numeric data reported, unless otherwise specified.

Position Breakdown This report contains data from three distinct classes of in-house counsel1: General Counsel, Managing Counsel, and Senior Counsel. These three classes are largely determined by seniority, experience, and management level, causing compensation to vary across position. Therefore, the greater part of this report is dedicated to the analysis of compensation trends for each individual position.

Prominent Determinants of Compensation After extensive statistical analysis of the compensation benchmark data, the following variables appear to impact compensation significantly for all three positions: organization type, revenue, industry, and gender. Practice area influence compensation for both Managing Counsel and Senior Counsel, but not for General Counsel. The data visualizations presented in the ensuing report reflect this breakdown of determinants.

Data Validation To validate the data used for this report, we compared the median survey data to the median compensation information entered into BarkerGilmore’s proprietary contact database from January 2018 through December 2018. In a comparison of base salary across positions, the survey data and database data are compatible with less than 3% margin of error, meaning the survey data display a high level of validity.

Disclaimer of Approximation The data displayed in this report were collected from a wide variety of in-house counsel whose compensation figures are highly dependent on a multitude of different intervening variables. For the purpose of simple interpretation, the complex statistical relationships that resulted from these variables are not included in this report. Thus, the proceeding trends should be considered approximations of compensation data that are ultimately contingent upon numerous influences taken together.

Confidentiality BarkerGilmore takes protecting the privacy of those who participated in our compensation survey seriously, since confidentiality is the cornerstone of our business. The information provided by survey respondents remains anonymous and will not be shared with anyone.
