Just finished reading Legal Operations KPIs by Mori Kabiri — and it’s an excellent resource. There’s plenty of material out there on KPIs and OKRs, but what stood out for me in this book was its practical approach to defining metrics that genuinely demonstrate the value of Legal Operations through data. It goes beyond theory and focuses on what matters most: making performance measurable and meaningful. One section I particularly appreciated was the emphasis on turning complex analytics into actionable insights. For anyone who has wrestled with translating data into something stakeholders can understand, this is a game-changer. It’s not just about tracking numbers — it’s about telling a clear story of impact. This couldn’t have come at a better time for me, as I’m working on KPI-related projects this year. The ideas in this book have already influenced how I think about aligning metrics with organizational goals, and I’ll be sharing it with my team. If you’re looking to make KPIs less intimidating and more strategic, I highly recommend giving it a read.

As somebody who has been tasked with heading up a legal operation department, this book has been very helpful and detailed to give me a better idea of what to look and aim for in efficiently running the law department. I recommend it for anyone who is beginning to create a Legal Operations department or is already involved but looking to further their progress.

As you all know, as a legal operations analyst, I am constantly looking for ways to demonstrate the value and efficiency of my work. I recently started reading Mori Kabiri’s book on Legal Operations and have found, in the pages I’ve read so far, precise tools to optimize processes and manage them more effectively. The explanations about KPIs and metrics are clear and applicable. Although I haven’t finished it yet, it has already left me with a very positive impression. Once I do, I’ll share some insights with you to keep you updated.

And we thought about the Brazil community because initially this book and this concept applied to the United States, Germany, Mexico, and some other countries. But our scenario — Brazil — is very different. […] There is no such map or KPI book. The idea is to start writing things in this chapter that are relevant to our scenario, so that someone in a legal department today facing the challenge of implementing KPIs can say: I'm just getting started, I don't know where to begin. And then have this material, this forum, and a lot of information available.
