I finally received my book — written by one of the great thinkers on law firm management and operations. Entrepreneurship in the legal field taught me that strength does not come from victories, but from the ability to persevere — even when everything seems discouraging. The book "Legal Operations", by Mori Kabiri, is about that: transforming chaos into method, pain into learning, and persistence into strategy using data.

I'm jumping on the bandwagon of those who already recommended the book—and that just confirms it’s definitely worth reading. You can find a lot of content about KPIs and OKRs in general, and there’s plenty of talk about how Legal Operations provides value to an organization. But I’ve never seen such a precise analysis and listing of metrics that are specifically suited to provide evidence of that value through reliable data. I’m glad I read it before tackling some KPI-related topics this year—and I’ll certainly recommend it to the team.
