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.

Legal Operations KPIs addresses the critical challenge of transforming legal departments from traditional cost centers into dynamic business units, all through data analysis. This book fills a significant gap in the legal field by focusing on specific metrics and KPIs that not only break down the data but also reveal the stories behind it.

What a pleasure to rediscover the joy of simply learning and challenging myself. The book 'Legal Operations KPIs' arrived earlier than expected!!! Paraphrasing a wise mentor friend: 'I will read it as if it were a novel.'

As a Legal Ops professional, this book has become my go-to resource. I own many legal-related books, but this is the only one that earns a permanent place on my desk. Time and again, I reach for it to identify the right KPIs for a particular practice group or circumstance. I also use it for inspiration on which charts to include in reports, making it an essential tool not only for metrics but also for clear communication. The content is thoughtfully laid out, making it easy to quickly find exactly what you need or to spark fresh ideas. Whether you’re working in-house or at a law firm, and regardless of department size, this book is an invaluable guide. Highly recommended!

Very impressed with your deep work in legal KPIs.

Legal Operations KPIs – The Professional’s Handbook to Operational Excellence by Mori Kabiri is a book with in-depth, practical examples considering the business and KPIs associated with legal operations. The book covers data, metrics and KPIs, and includes explanations and examples for spend management, budgets, resources and performance management, law firm and vendor management (including external expense distribution analysis), cross-functional collaboration, diversity and inclusion, and risk management and best practices. This is a great toolkit to start off anyone wanting help with practical tips and examples.

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.

Finally, a long-needed single point of reference for anyone working with legal data. It explains exactly what each metric means, plus how to calculate and most importantly, how to communicate using this data to tell your story!

Needed this!
