We need more of legal ops practical handbooks!
Really enjoying the easy reading of this very usefull handbook for legal ops purpose. Mori Kabiri ‘s book, "Legal Operations KPIs," is an excellent starting point for understanding your operation based on quantifiable data. The book covers everything from basic visualization techniques to the information you should collect to interpret data.
In a rapidly evolving legal market, Law Firm KPIs by Mori Kabiri is the book many of us in legal finance and analytics have been waiting for. As Director of FP&A, I routinely face the challenge of translating mountains of firm data into insight, strategy, and action. Kabiri’s book provides not only a taxonomy of over 80 clearly defined KPIs but a much-needed framework for turning law firm data into a shared language of performance and value. The book’s value lies in three core strengths: 1. Clarity and Practicality: Each KPI is laid out with definition, calculation, data sources, pitfalls, trend insights, and improvement strategies. Whether you're assessing realization, partner profitability, or AI adoption rates, the format allows for immediate application without wading through unnecessary academic detail. 2. Audience-Aware Structure: Kabiri understands the varied roles within a law firm—from managing partners to HR and legal ops—and aligns each metric to its relevant stakeholders. This makes it easier to drive cross-functional alignment. 3. Forward-Thinking with an Operational Backbone: Particularly impressive is the inclusion of metrics around Alternative Fee Arrangements (AFAs), AI impact, knowledge reuse, and cost-to-serve measures like Operating Cost per Billable Hour (OCPBH).
Ordered. As always, I recommend that law firms know their clients' KPIs too.
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.
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.
