A valuable book for any professional starting their journey in the world of legal operations. From the beginning, the author aims to convey a balanced approach between the technical and personal skills needed by these professionals to connect with the business and people, understand their needs, and provide value to the client.

Mori Kabiri's Legal Operations KPIs book is an excellent resource.

Law Firm KPIs book is a comprehensive, accessible, and future-ready guide for anyone tasked with managing or modernizing law firm performance reporting. I recommend Law Firm KPIs as a go-to reference for FP&A leaders, pricing directors, and legal ops professionals serious about building a metrics-driven culture in their firm.

Love your book!

Being excellent and client-focused is no longer enough. Success depends equally on becoming data-centric—extracting data and knowledge from partners' heads into firm-wide systems. Structured, complete data is the launchpad for utilising the potential of Gen-AI, and KPIs are the levers that shape the data-centric culture law firms should want to build.

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.

Superb resource! A fantastic resource. Filled with actionable data and insights.

In my curiosity to continue developing myself in #LegalOps topics, I found a book that is providing me with key concepts and methodical steps to optimize the management of Legal Operations, allowing Legal Departments to move from being a "cost center" to a value-generating center that delivers legal data to companies. From an innovative and practical perspective, it is reshaping the way I see legal management through data, metrics, and results, showing that lawyers can also be proactive and make data-driven decisions.

Why this book nailed it: Law Firm KPIs by Mori Kabiri cuts through the fluff and gets right to what legal leaders actually need.

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.
