Leitura importantíssima. Vou colocar na minha lista de leituras de 2025.
This isn't a book that just sits on a shelf. Believe me - I enjoyed reading it so much, I took it with me on a holiday trip as my hobby read. (I will admit I am a data nerd but still.) What I appreciate most about this book is its practicality. Mori's approach is straightforward and focused on application, which makes the book accessible regardless of your expertise level. The inclusion of digital resources via QR codes and the detailed explanations of each KPI make this a tool I can use consistently to make informed decisions and improve our department's performance and reputation. I appreciate it not only for its depth in legal metrics but also for its broader application across other business functions like compliance and finance. I suspect this text is secretly useful for law firms and vendors as well. Understanding the intricacies of how corporate legal departments operate can be challenging. Legal Operations KPIs acts like a cheat code, offering insights into corporate needs and expectations, which can significantly enhance the services providers offer. As someone deeply involved in our legal department, Legal Operations KPIs has proven to be a highly useful guide. For anyone in a legal operations role looking to make a tangible impact, I'd recommend this book.
A valuable book for any professional starting their journey in the world of legal operations. From the beginning, the author aims to convey a balanced approach between the technical and personal skills needed by these professionals to connect with the business and people, understand their needs, and provide value to the client.
Bought it. I look forward to reading it and getting an autograph from Mori and team.
• Creo que con la instrucción de este libro de operaciones legales es un muy buen ejemplo y es muchísimo material. Lo vas a tener que revisar ahí despacito e irlo viendo cómo le podemos sacar el mejor provecho, pero trae muy buenos tips que creo que nosotros, como abogados, no lo traemos tanto a la naturaleza. No se nos da mucho tener estas gráficas y ser de repente muy ordenados con la información. Y esta, no me queda la menor duda que es algo que tenemos que ir implementando, que tenemos que ir aprendiendo poco a poco.
Picking up a copy immediately.
Excelente! Estoy seguro que el libro en esta versión ofrece gran valor por ser un contenido innovador en este idioma.
There are a lot of really great models and measurements in Legal Operations KPIs, and it might help you figure out what things we should be measuring.
In a rapidly evolving legal market, Law Firm KPIs by Mori Kabiri is the book many of us in legal finance and analytics have been waiting for. As Director of FP&A, I routinely face the challenge of translating mountains of firm data into insight, strategy, and action. Kabiri’s book provides not only a taxonomy of over 80 clearly defined KPIs but a much-needed framework for turning law firm data into a shared language of performance and value. The book’s value lies in three core strengths: 1. Clarity and Practicality: Each KPI is laid out with definition, calculation, data sources, pitfalls, trend insights, and improvement strategies. Whether you're assessing realization, partner profitability, or AI adoption rates, the format allows for immediate application without wading through unnecessary academic detail. 2. Audience-Aware Structure: Kabiri understands the varied roles within a law firm—from managing partners to HR and legal ops—and aligns each metric to its relevant stakeholders. This makes it easier to drive cross-functional alignment. 3. Forward-Thinking with an Operational Backbone: Particularly impressive is the inclusion of metrics around Alternative Fee Arrangements (AFAs), AI impact, knowledge reuse, and cost-to-serve measures like Operating Cost per Billable Hour (OCPBH).
This new resource (and awesomely integrated companion website) will take your legal data analytics to the next level. Finally, a one-stop-stop for legal metrics that explains exactly what each means, plus how to calculate and most importantly, how to communicate using this data to tell your story!
