📬 Last Friday's mail delivered me some weekend reading. I've browsed this through over the weekend and here's why you should consider buying it too ⤵️ 👩‍💻Background: I've studied operations management at uni. This means basic operational metrics and concepts, like throughput time, cycle time and line balancing are very familiar to me. It comes as no surprise that this book has some legal-specific metrics that I could also call something else in traditional ops management lingo. BUT. If you do not have a degree in this field, this book 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.

KPIs are the language of modern legal leadership. Law Firm KPIs is a timely resource for firms ready to lead the next era.

Mori is one of the smartest guys I've ever worked with... this is bound to be a must read.

Such impressive drive and dedication to helping make the ecosystem the best. 👏 👏 👏

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 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.

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

Congrats on this! We need more of legal ops practical handbooks!

The book every Law firm should have in their shelf.
