The board carries the 120 most recent of 145 open legal counsel roles - the other 25 are in the full member search. The city chips read the employer’s own location line; a listing that names no city we can resolve stays searchable but sits out of them.
Open to remote only? 26 of the 55 legal counsel listings that publish a work model came back remote-first, and 16 more are hybrid. The other 90 say nothing either way - that field is one only some boards publish.
Posted pay only - no estimates
What 56 of these listings actually printed.
Every figure here comes from a live posting with a stated annual base range. Nothing is modelled, inferred, or averaged in from a survey - which is also why the sample is smaller than the board.

With 80 distinct companies actively hiring across 146 open roles, the market appears to offer a reasonable breadth of opportunity, though candidates should note that the number of roles posted in a single week (11) is relatively modest compared to the total open positions, which may point to a steady rather than rapidly accelerating hiring pace. Prospective applicants and hiring managers alike can use these figures as a general benchmark, though individual listings should be consulted for role-specific requirements, compensation details, and company context. Overall, the data reflects a legal hiring landscape with meaningful representation from technology-driven firms, a defined salary band spanning roughly $170,000 to $262,000 at the mid-range, and consistent, if measured, weekly posting activity. This snapshot is based solely on currently available postings and should be interpreted as a point-in-time reflection of the Legal Counsel market rather than a long-term trend indicator.
