Submissions are now open for Bloomberg Law’s inaugural Data-Driven Departments, our newest benchmark for in-house legal departments.

About this Program

This survey of in-house legal departments includes questions about department structure, budget, business metrics, and technology and innovation. Bloomberg Law developed this program to recognize and benchmark in-house legal teams.

Criteria to Apply

Any U.S.-based in-house legal department can submit data for potential inclusion in the benchmark.

Data Collection Requirements

Data for submissions includes staffing and budget numbers, along with a variety of technology and innovation metrics. A PDF of the entire questionnaire will be available on the first page of the online data collection instrument.

Legal departments are encouraged to answer every question on the data collection instrument but have discretion to decide which data to disclose publicly.

Deadline

All data must be submitted by Friday, Dec. 19.

How to submit data?

Please request an invitation to upload your firm’s data here.

If you would like additional information before requesting your invitation, please email submissions@bloombergindustry.com.

Is there a cost to participate?

Like all of our survey and ranking programs, participation and inclusion in this survey and the resulting report are open and free to all in-house legal departments.
