Seeing Law Firm KPIs finally in Portuguese, adapted to our reality, is outstanding. Brazilian law firms really needed something like this—practical, straightforward, and that truly works day to day. I'm sure it will help many move away from guesswork and toward real management!

If you do not have a degree in this field, this book [Legal Operations KPIs] 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.

Great learning opportunity! In Mexico legal ops and KPI are topics that aren't discussed as much as they should, there are much benefits for in-house counsels in learning about these topics.

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!
