What is a market-aligned salary for a company lawyer in Belgium? And what does the total remuneration package of legal professionals look like today? Greater insight into remuneration is becoming increasingly important for both legal professionals and employers.
That is why Vialegis once again joined forces with IBJ-IJE and Vlerick Business School for the 2026 Survey on the Remuneration of Company Lawyers in Belgium. The study examines not only the financial remuneration of company lawyers, but also their total reward package, including benefits and non-financial components. It also covers topics such as satisfaction, financial well-being and artificial intelligence.
Greater insight into the remuneration of company lawyers
The results provide company lawyers with a valuable remuneration benchmark and offer insight into how their salary and total reward package compare with those of other company lawyers in the Belgian market. At the same time, the study highlights broader trends and developments in the legal labour market.
For employers, a clear understanding of market-aligned remuneration is becoming increasingly relevant as well. Realistic salary positioning helps organisations bring legal roles to the market appropriately and clarify remuneration expectations from the outset.
At Vialegis, our day-to-day recruitment practice shows us how important up-to-date remuneration market knowledge is. Our role extends beyond finding the right legal professional: we also help clients position roles, responsibilities and salary ranges accurately against the market.
