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.

Este libro (en inglés o español) es un gran recurso de consulta que ayuda a entender qué es una métrica, qué es un indicador, los diferentes tipos de indicadores que hay y cómo visualizar datos para una gerencia legal. El libro también proporciona diferentes ejemplos de indicadores sobre gasto, presupuesto, gestión, diversidad, calidad de datos, cumplimiento legal y gestión de riesgos; y por si eso no fuera poco, también incluye todo un capítulo de mejores prácticas con una herramienta de diagnóstico sobre análisis de datos legales. En cualquier organización, contar con los indicadores adecuados es crucial para orientar correctamente el trabajo, la innovación, la implementación de tecnología y la mejora de procesos. Este libro les ahorrará horas de investigación para conocer una gran variedad de indicadores y decidir cuáles son los adecuados para sus equipos. Este libro es una gran contribución a la literatura en español sobre operaciones legales, informada por años de experiencia en el sector, que contribuirá a acelerar el conocimiento para las gerencias legales en países hispanohablantes.

Se você deseja se aprofundar nesse tema, recomendo fortemente a leitura do Livro do Prof. Mori Kabiri – Legal Operations – O Manual do Profissional Jurídico para a Excelência Operacional, assim como acompanhar as próximas iniciativas do Jurídico Sem Gravata, que tem se mostrado uma excelente fonte de aprendizado e networking.

In the process of reviewing and taking a deep dive into the legal ops universe and how to build success. A must read for anyone in the legal services space.

📬 Last Friday's mail delivered me some weekend reading. I've browsed this through over the weekend and here's why you should consider buying it too ⤵️ 👩‍💻Background: I've studied operations management at uni. This means basic operational metrics and concepts, like throughput time, cycle time and line balancing are very familiar to me. It comes as no surprise that this book has some legal-specific metrics that I could also call something else in traditional ops management lingo. BUT. If you do not have a degree in this field, this book brings you plenty more than the basics – put in a legal context! Instead of explaining specifically how for example throughput time can be utilized in a legal ops context, you can eg. just have a read about MAA (read the book if you want to know what it is 😉). 📖 The layout of each spread on each metric is well thought out and repeats itself. If you are struggling with a specific issue, you can start browsing and easily comparing various metrics to establish which could help you track and collect data on the situation.

• 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.

A good complement to your initial book.

Picking up a copy immediately.

Recebi finalmente meu livro — escrito por um dos grandes pensadores sobre gestão e operação de escritórios jurídicos. Empreender no direito me ensinou que a força não vem das vitórias, mas da capacidade de seguir — mesmo quando tudo faz você desanimar. O livro Legal Operations, de Mori Kabiri, é sobre isso: transformar o caos em método, a dor em aprendizado e a persistência em estratégia utilizando dados. Você pode aprender por bem ou por mal que não há vencedores permanentes, no final, há apenas quem continua jogando. No fim, continuar jogando é o que nos torna imbatíveis. O resto é vendedor de curso.

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.
