Corporate Lawyers — Occupation Research Survey

Help us understand how corporate-law jobs differ across the profession. We are studying the dimensions that distinguish different jobs, drawing on the independent judgment of experienced practitioners.

Selected participants will complete one written survey. You will identify the main dimensions that distinguish jobs within corporate law and the main categories or values within each dimension. You can write concise notes and clarify unfamiliar terms where needed. We are interested in your own professional perspective; no research or preparation is required.

Expected survey time: approximately 15–20 minutes. Please allow up to 25 minutes for a detailed response. This is an estimate, and there is no timer.

Who this is for

• Lawyers with at least five years of hands-on corporate-law experience.

• Current or recent experience with the U.S. professional context.

• Experience as a practicing lawyer, including in a law firm or in-house role.

• Ability to describe the occupation from direct professional experience.

The study concerns corporate lawyers. Experience solely in litigation, criminal law, or another unrelated practice is outside this round's scope. Specialized corporate-law experience is welcome; you do not need to have worked in every part of the profession.
