This 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.

From an in-house perspective, your point about AI making work faster but not automatically cheaper really resonates. We’re under constant pressure to demonstrate value internally, so partnering with outside counsel who can measure and communicate impact, beyond just hours billed, is key. The KPIs and frameworks you’ve pulled together feel like exactly the kind of shared language that helps us align expectations and make smarter decisions together.

Just finished reading Legal Operations KPIs by Mori Kabiri — and it’s an excellent resource. There’s plenty of material out there on KPIs and OKRs, but what stood out for me in this book was its practical approach to defining metrics that genuinely demonstrate the value of Legal Operations through data. It goes beyond theory and focuses on what matters most: making performance measurable and meaningful. One section I particularly appreciated was the emphasis on turning complex analytics into actionable insights. For anyone who has wrestled with translating data into something stakeholders can understand, this is a game-changer. It’s not just about tracking numbers — it’s about telling a clear story of impact. This couldn’t have come at a better time for me, as I’m working on KPI-related projects this year. The ideas in this book have already influenced how I think about aligning metrics with organizational goals, and I’ll be sharing it with my team. If you’re looking to make KPIs less intimidating and more strategic, I highly recommend giving it a read.

I fervently believe in the power of data...well, a firm believer in collecting and using the RIGHT type of data I should say. That's why I'm excited to dive into a new book featured from Mori Kabiri.

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’ve been focusing more on legal ops lately, and one thing stands out: most teams think they’re further behind than they actually are. After reading the brilliant 𝘓𝘦𝘨𝘢𝘭 𝘖𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘒𝘗𝘐𝘴 by Mori Kabiri, I’ve been helping in-house legal teams assess their operational maturity using the four-pillar framework: 𝗣𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲: Do you have the right skills and expertise? Are you more proactive or reactive? How do you handle difficult matters? 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: Are your processes driving results or dragging you down? Where can you unlock quick wins? Even small improvements compound over time. 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵: Is your tech stack delivering results or just racking up costs? Are you using legal-specific tools or just making do with generic systems? Who is stepping up as your team’s CTO? 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮: Can you clearly demonstrate your team’s value to the business? Are you tracking the right metrics, telling the right story, and making evidence-based decisions? Without actionable data, you’re flying blind. I ask teams to rate themselves one to four on each pillar. Most are stronger than they realise and gain clarity on their blind spots. Right now, I’m working with several innovative legal leaders to transform their legal operations and I’m always happy to connect with new teams who are ready to level up.

Me llegó recién así que partiendo con la revisión, hasta ahora me gusta que parte desde 0. Con temas tan básicos como que gráficos usar para que data.
