The Professional’s Handbook for Operational Excellence (Spanish Edition) written by Mori Kabiri is highly recommended for anyone who wants to make decisions based on real data, mitigate risk, and interpret performance in a much more objective way. Best of all, it is focused on the legal field, which often feels disconnected from these topics, and is available in both English and Spanish.

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.

I finally received my book — written by one of the great thinkers on law firm management and operations. Entrepreneurship in the legal field taught me that strength does not come from victories, but from the ability to persevere — even when everything seems discouraging. The book "Legal Operations", by Mori Kabiri, is about that: transforming chaos into method, pain into learning, and persistence into strategy using data.

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.

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).
