Warsaw- Law firm compensation, benefits and billing report 2021/2022

This is the 16th edition of the Lexology Insights Warsaw law firm compensation, benefits and billing report (previously known as the Warsaw Legal Market Intelligence report). It was prepared on the basis of in-depth research carried out during June 2021. The results are based on data supplied by participating law firms, as well as interviews with partners, office managers and directors of HR and finance at 17 of the leading law firms in Warsaw. The report was researched by Gwilym Davies of Lexology. We intend to repeat this exercise annually, addressing any fluctuations in the market, along with new areas as suggested by respondents. For this reason, we remain eager for feedback on the usefulness of the findings and on how the report’s format and relevance can be improved.
