We believe the methodology employed in this database provides our Chapter members with concise and accurate data, while exercising an abundance of caution regarding ethical standards and compliance with anti-trust regulations.which we gather, compile, compute and report the statistical complications to our Participating Members.

As opposed to other web-based salary survey tools considered by the Chapter, this survey is the only web-based program to our knowledge in which all positions are reported individually. Other surveys available require an average compensation figure for each position. While that sounds appealing, the methodology does not produce accurate statistical results. By utilizing the methodology of this survey, the reports reflect not only an accurate �average� salary amount for each position, but the percentile, range and frequency figures provide more meaningful statistical data. Participants in this Survey enjoy the convenience of entering data and retrieving reports utilizing this secure web site which can be accessed from any internet browser. Also, Participants have the ability to assign exclusive system access and security rights to others in their respective firms or legal departments. Customized reports are available for quick and easy access to statistical comparisons by firm size, position categories or job descriptions.

We are confident this Salary and Benefits Survey is the premiere product available in the legal industry today. If you have any questions or comments, please contact the Survey Administrator via email at administrator@houstonalasurvey.org.
