Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

Schedule J

Answered yes

  • 3 · Written employment contract
  • 3 · Approval by the board or compensation committee
  • 5a · Pay contingent on this organization's revenues
  • 7 · Other non-fixed payments

Answered no

  • 4a · Severance or change-of-control payment
  • 4b · Supplemental nonqualified retirement plan
  • 4c · Equity-based compensation arrangement
  • 5b · Pay contingent on a related organization's revenues
  • 6a · Pay contingent on this organization's net earnings
  • 6b · Pay contingent on a related organization's net earnings
  • 8 · Paid under the initial-contract exception

The filer's explanations (Part III)

PART I, LINE 5
THE BONUS STRUCTURE FOR THE CHIEF DEVELOPMENT OFFICER INCLUDES A TARGET FOR REVENUE METRICS.
PART I, LINE 7
BONUSES ARE SUBMITTED BY THE EXECUTIVE TEAM (EACH DEPT. HEAD) TO THE CEO. THE CEO APPROVES BONUSES. THE CEO'S BONUS IS REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY THE BOARD OR A BOARD COMMITTEE.
PART II:
COLUMN B(I) INCLUDES BASE COMPENSATION, COLUMN B(II) INCLUDES BONUS COMPENSATION, COLUMN B(III) INCLUDES ALL OTHER REPORTABLE COMPENSATION, INCLUDING ANY REDUCTIONS TO TAXABLE COMPENSATION RELATED TO PARTICIPATION IN HEALTH OR DEPENDENT SPENDING ACCOUNTS, IF/AS APPLICABLE. COLUMN C INCLUDES EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLAN AND THE MATCHING CONTRIBUTIONS IF/AS APPLICABLE; THE TOTALS SHOWN REFLECT AMOUNTS EARNED DURING THE YEAR, WHETHER OR NOT THE EMPLOYEE IS FULLY VESTED. COLUMN D INCLUDES NON-TAXABLE BENEFITS, SUCH AS HEALTH AND OTHER INSURANCE, AS WELL AS AMOUNTS SET ASIDE BY EMPLOYEES IN THE HEALTH AND/OR DEPENDENT CARE FLEXIBLE SPENDING PLANS WHICH HAVE BEEN ADDED BACK TO PROVIDE THE FULLEST PICTURE POSSIBLE OF TOTAL COMPENSATION; BECAUSE LAMBDA LEGAL OPERATES A PARTIALLY SELF-FUNDED HEALTH PLAN, HEALTH INSURANCE AMOUNTS ARE ESTIMATED AT THE EXPECTED RATE FOR EACH PLAN TYPE ELECTED BY THE EMPLOYEE, IF THEY ARE ENROLLED IN A LAMBDA LEGAL-SPONSORED HEALTH PLAN.

Part I's answers as filed. A line not listed was left unanswered; on lines 1a and 3 that means the box was not checked.
