A new survey from the United kingdom shows that legal spending and priorities within the department differ according to whether a man or woman is in charge.
U.K.-based legal research firm Acritas Research Ltd. surveyed nearly 1,800 senior in-house counsel across the globe for its 2016 Diversity Report and found that men earn more—and they plan to spend more. In fact, overall legal spending by men is expected to increase by 12 percent in the next year. Women, however, have no intention of upping their overall legal budgets, according to the survey.
