Speaking & Engagements

Practical Ideas for Legal Leaders Who Need More Than Inspiration.

Mori Kabiri, author of Legal Operations KPIs and Law Firm KPIs, delivers keynotes, masterclasses, panels, executive roundtables, and event workshops on legal performance, KPIs, executive reporting, AI value, and the business of law. Every session is tailored to the audience and designed to leave participants with a clear framework, practical questions, and next steps they can use.

For event organizers

Substance, Structure, and Audience Relevance

A Clear Point of View

Mori connects legal work to business decisions and challenges audiences to move beyond vanity metrics, dashboard volume, and technology hype.

Practical Structure

Frameworks, examples, and focused questions give the audience a clear way to follow the argument and apply it afterward.

Built for the Room

The story, examples, terminology, and level of detail are adjusted for in-house legal, law firms, academics, mixed audiences, and regional context.

An Experienced Operator

The content draws from legal technology, process redesign, reporting, analytics, and implementation experience, not only commentary about industry trends.

Signature topics

Topics can be shaped for corporate legal departments, law firms, mixed audiences, associations, universities, and executive groups.

How to evaluate adoption, quality, time, risk, cost, and operational outcomes without overclaiming ROI.

Law Firm KPIs in the Age of AI and AFAs

How pricing, profitability, leverage, matter delivery, and client value are changing, and what firms should measure.
