Company Lawyers’ renumeration tool

The Belgian Institute of Company Lawyers (IBJ-IJE), Vlerick Business School, and Vialegis have joined forces to survey the remuneration of company lawyers. The survey has investigated the remuneration and benefits of company lawyers to understand how satisfied they are with their jobs and provide valuable information about related remuneration trends.

The results are presented in a report available for download on our website and in this practical tool. Please do keep in mind that the tool only reflects survey responses that match your search criteria, so it is not exhaustive and might not provide answers for every unique situation.

The survey received 561 responses between September and November 2022, and the salaries presented in the tool have been adjusted to reflect market conditions from June 2023 (due to indexation). Read the report for more details.

How does the tool work?
Based on your search criteria, the tool displays matching responses from the survey. In particular:

• the lowest and highest monthly gross salary reported and their median;
• a chart of all the monthly gross salaries reported;
• a selection of common remuneration elements (of course, some respondents could receive additional benefits not identified here).

The monthly gross salaries shown do not include the year-end premium ('13th month') and double holiday pay, which most employees are paid once a year in addition to the monthly salary. To calculate the yearly gross salary, you generally need to multiply the monthly gross salary by 13.92.
