As you all know, as a legal operations analyst, I am constantly looking for ways to demonstrate the value and efficiency of my work. I recently started reading Mori Kabiri’s book on Legal Operations and have found, in the pages I’ve read so far, precise tools to optimize processes and manage them more effectively. The explanations about KPIs and metrics are clear and applicable. Although I haven’t finished it yet, it has already left me with a very positive impression. Once I do, I’ll share some insights with you to keep you updated.

Great reference tool! Comprehensive and easily searchable. A great reference tool for beginners who need ideas and examples, to advanced users who need more creativity.

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.

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).

This is the new metrics bible for Legal Ops!

I recently completed 'Legal Operations KPIs,' and it's a game-changer for legal professionals navigating the evolving data landscape. The author's expertise shines through, providing not just a guide but a compass to legal ops excellence. What sets this book apart is its practicality; it equips both legal and technical audiences with the tools to create, deliver, and interpret crucial reports and metrics. The companion website, legalopskpi.com, further enhances the utility, offering valuable resources. A must-read for proactive legal ops professionals and GCs aligning with corporate needs.

The graphical and easily understandable percentage representations immediately caught my attention. Believe me, they are accurate and straightforward, a rare find. The Legal Operations KPIs book is incredibly helpful for legal professionals dealing with various types of data regularly and needing to perform data analysis. The section of the book, 'How Should You Select the Right Chart for Your Data?' is invaluable for every professional, regardless of their background. I highly recommend it; you won't be disappointed.

This is incredible! Can’t wait to digest this!

Ordered. As always, I recommend that law firms know their clients' KPIs too.

I also have a copy of this book on my home desk waiting for the holidays to be done, so I can dig in.
