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.

I just read the recent article “Law Firm KPIs: The Professional’s Handbook for Pricing, Productivity, Profitability,” and it feels like a must-read for any firm serious about growth.

This book (in English or Spanish) is a great reference resource that helps explain what a metric is, what an indicator is, the different types of indicators, and how to visualize data for legal management. The book also provides different examples of indicators related to spend, budget, management, diversity, data quality, legal compliance, and risk management; and as if that weren’t enough, it also includes an entire chapter on best practices with a diagnostic tool for legal data analytics. In any organization, having the right indicators is crucial to properly guide work, innovation, technology implementation, and process improvement. This book will save hours of research by presenting a wide variety of indicators and helping teams decide which ones are right for them. This book is a major contribution to Spanish-language literature on legal operations, informed by years of industry experience, and will help accelerate knowledge for legal management teams across Spanish-speaking countries.

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.
