2026 Salary Survey

One of the greatest challenges of our members is staffing which goes hand in hand with compensation and benefit decisions.  To assist our members, the SMBA is launching a salary survey with plans for annual updates.  The survey includes compensation and benefit information for associate attorneys and staff.

The survey is online and anonymous, building on the previous framework of Carnahan Evans. We appreciate Carnahan Evans for providing us with a template and turning this project over to the SMBA.  

The deadline for submission for the 2026 survey is October 2, 2026.  October 5, 2026. We plan to provide the results to participating firms on or before November 1 to assist in their year-end planning. 

If your firm would like to participate and receive the results email info@springfieldbar.com.
