Deloitte's Global Corporate Counsel Report 2011 presents data from almost 900 in-house counsel in 10 countries. Only 49 were from the United States. Of that subset, 86% are a member of the company's senior management team (at 6). Evidently a much lower percentage holds for counsel outside the U.S., since the figure for the entire survey population - increased some by the U.S. figures - was 62%. Hence, the top lawyers of non-U.S. companies for the most part don't occupy the rank of their American counterparts.
