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).

A community like Legal Operations KPIs is also very important because it brings more technical depth and a bit more scientific work to this discussion in Brazil. That's what I expect from Legal Operations KPIs, especially considering the book and the data that can be identified from the work you've already done and that the community has been doing.

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.
