KPIs that Power Legal Teams

CEPI FGV Direito SP had the honor of welcoming Mori Kabiri for a thought-provoking roundtable on the impact of generative AI in the legal profession. Drawing from international experience, he offered valuable insights into the ethical, regulatory, and practical challenges surrounding AI in the legal field. Thank you for your generosity and contribution to the debate.

I am really enjoying reading the book Legal Operations KPIs by Mori Kabiri; the experience has been incredible. The work brilliantly balances practicality with theoretical depth, offering concrete tools for those who want to implement effective performance evaluations in the legal field. What has caught my attention the most so far is how the book structures applicable methodologies without falling into excessive academicism. It’s the kind of reading that not only expands strategic vision, but also provides actionable insights for the continuous improvement of legal processes. As an enthusiast, performance metrics practitioner, and professor on the subject, I can already see from this reading that the book has everything it takes to be a revolution in the definition, selection, and application of performance metrics!

Great reference tool! Comprehensive and easily searchable. A great reference tool for beginners who need ideas and examples, to advanced users who need more creativity.

Legal Operations KPIs points to one of the most important challenges in my day-to-day work: understanding the efficiency and quality of our service and how we can demonstrate the value we deliver, especially through KPIs. KPIs in the legal space are often a challenge, balancing the objective with the subjective. This book offers not only practical tools to understand, calculate, and apply these indicators, but is also useful for both beginners and experts in the field.

The event brought an important reflection: the strategic transformation of legal departments, which must move away from being reactive cost centers to becoming proactive business partners. The parallel drawn with areas such as Finance and IT, which have already gone through this process and are now essential to strategic planning, made the path ahead clear. The central point was the use of data, analytics, and KPIs as key tools for this evolution. The presentation moved from a conceptual overview to a practical guide, showing methodologies to identify, define, and monitor metrics that truly add business value. In the end, the message was clear: what is not measured is not managed, and transforming data into strategy is the path to more efficient management, inside and outside the legal function.

Had a good time at the Legal Operations & KPIs Forum (Singapore – APAC Hub)! Thankful for Mori Kabiri and his insight on how KPI usage can shape a company’s legal department.

YOU GUYS ROCK!

It just arrived, so I’m starting to review it. So far, I like that it starts from zero, covering very basic topics such as which charts to use for which data.

Picking up a copy immediately.

Data governance enables the creation of consistent and reliable KPIs, providing strategic clarity, operational security for the legal function, strengthening decision-making, mitigating operational and regulatory risks, and sustainably increasing value generation for the business.

No doubt Law Firm KPIs will be as valuable as Legal Operations KPIs.

It was a unique opportunity to discuss how to measure and optimize the value we deliver as in-house lawyers within our companies, a key topic in an increasingly demanding business environment. How important it is to keep learning continuously, as well as to build and nurture networks that push us to be better professionals and people...

Wonderful event, everyone!!!!! Mori Kabiri is really fantastic!!! 👏👏👏

Extremely important reading. I will add it to my 2025 reading list.

There’s a book out called Legal Operations KPIs. I would recommend people look at that. That’s a good way to get started.

If you think about KPI within Legal - THIS IS YOUR book

A good complement to your initial book.

Mori Kabiri , your book is invaluable to not only people starting their KPI journey, but also refreshing it.

Incredible momentum, love seeing how data-driven thinking is reshaping legal operations across borders.

Thank you, Mori Kabiri, for generously sharing your insights. It was an honor to be part of your audience.
