ALPMA Legal Industry Salary Survey now open for free participation by Australasian law firms
Announcement posted by Australasian Legal Practice Management Association 21 Mar 2013
The Australasian Legal Practice Management Association (ALPMA) today launched its 2013 ALPMA Legal Industry Salary Survey, proudly sponsored by Legal People, a specialist legal recruiting consultancy based in Melbourne.
The ALPMA Salary Survey provides a comprehensive guide to salaries paid for more than 60 positions at legal firms. Participation is free and open to all Australasian legal firms.
Comprehensive, reliable information on actual salaries
“Unlike many other legal industry salary surveys, the ALPMA survey collects comprehensive information on actual salaries paid by law firms for all types of positions at the firm – including partners, lawyers, managers and administrative staff,” National President Warrick McLean said.
“Actual salary data for all positions at the firm is reported by law firm managers on behalf of the firm - not by candidates seeking a new role,” he said.
“This means firms can rely on the data provided to gain an accurate view of salaries being paid for equivalent positions in like firms, and use this to benchmark their internal salary review process.”
Enhancements to 2013 Survey
“Legal People is delighted to announce our continued support for the 2013 ALPMA Legal Industry Salary Survey” Legal People Partner, Sharon Henderson said.
“Last year, close to 200 law firms of took part in the survey and we look forward to the survey being even bigger this year. The enhanced changes that APLMA will implement for 2013 will make the survey data even more relevant to the legal profession.” she said
Improvements to this year’s survey include the addition of new positions into the survey including salaried and Managing Partners, Business Development personnel, more administrative staff positions and a further breakdown of administrative positions by years of experience.
