Este texto apunta a uno de los desafíos más importantes en mi día a día: entender la eficiencia y calidad de nuestro servicio y cómo podemos demostrar el valor que aportamos, especialmente a través de los kpis. Los kpis en el ámbito legal suelen ser un reto, equilibrando lo objetivo con lo subjetivo. Este libro ofrece no solo herramientas prácticas para comprender, calcular y aplicar estos indicadores, sino que también es útil tanto para principiantes como para expertos en la materia.
Just purchased it on Amazon! Looking forward to diving in.
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).
I am going to read your book and you know about me and books.
No doubt it will be as valuable as Legal Operations KPIs.
Se você deseja se aprofundar nesse tema, recomendo fortemente a leitura do Livro do Prof. Mori Kabiri – Legal Operations – O Manual do Profissional Jurídico para a Excelência Operacional, assim como acompanhar as próximas iniciativas do Jurídico Sem Gravata, que tem se mostrado uma excelente fonte de aprendizado e networking.
As you’re growing your career in legal ops, it really is a marathon, not a sprint. Learn as much as you can as you go along and be patient about it. Learn what you want to learn, learn as you need to learn. There are amazing resources like ‘Legal Operations KPIs’ that can help guide you along the way.
The timing is perfect, especially with all the changes in the industry. I'm already thinking of a few lawyer friends I'm going to recommend this to. Fantastic work!
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.
