The benefits that matter most to legal IT professionals:
Firms that build competitive benefits packages alongside fair market salaries are better positioned to attract, secure, and retain the legal technology talent they need to thrive.
Comprehensive healthcare and retirement packages as baseline expectations.
Flexible and hybrid work options to balance demanding caseloads with personal wellbeing.
Access to wellness and mental health support, now a key differentiator in retention.
Opportunities for professional development and training, ensuring skills grow alongside evolving technologies.
Parental and family support benefits, including enhanced leave and fertility options.
Benchmarking Salaries and Benefits in the US Legal Sector
Compensation is one of the biggest factors shaping whether technical professionals join or remain at a law firm. Salaries in legal IT vary widely depending on role, seniority, and region, in some metropolitan markets, pay can be as much as 40% above the US national average. Firms that fail to keep pace risk losing out on top talent to competitors in other industries.
But salary alone isn’t enough. Legal IT specialists increasingly weigh the wider benefits package when deciding between offers. Traditional perks like healthcare and retirement remain essential, but flexible work models, wellness support, and career development are now seen as minimum standards rather than differentiators.
