It is awesome for the profession to have an entire book written on Legal KPI's!
Mori is one of the smartest guys I've ever worked with... this is bound to be a must read.
I just read the recent article “Law Firm KPIs: The Professional’s Handbook for Pricing, Productivity, Profitability,” and it feels like a must-read for any firm serious about growth.
The launch of resources like your Legal Operations KPIs book are proving instrumental. They’re helping legal teams across the region better align with business goals, navigate local challenges, and drive measurable improvements.
Excellent to bring Law Firm KPIs adapted to the Brazilian context. I liked the focus on pricing, productivity and profitability. This speaks volumes to how AI can support real-time measurements and decisions.
Love this, Mori! You are King of the KPIs.
If you think about KPI within Legal - THIS IS YOUR book
Invaluable legal operations resource! A lot of people talk about KPI's in the legal industry/legal operations, but this book provides a detailed, solid foundation for readers who want to put theory into practice. As the saying goes, "you can't improve what you don't measure," and this book is an invaluable resource for anyone looking to measure performance and optimize legal operations. Mori Kabiri is universally regarded as an authority on this topic, and I'm grateful he and his team took the time to share his wisdom in writing!
Legal Operations KPIs is a well-balanced book, easy to read and understand to the point. I loved all the charts, facts and figures to help understand better , very useful for the legal field.
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).
