Firms generate mountains of data, yet many struggle to turn it into better pricing, stronger margins, or clearer client value. Law Firm KPIs bridges that gap. Focusing squarely on measures that matter, it equips firm leaders to read the numbers and act on them. Inside you will find detailed metrics, reporting strategies, best-practice guidance, and practical insights you can apply across every practice group.

The author demonstrates such a deep understanding of the subject matter and understand KPI's so fundamentally that his work here can easily be adopted and adapted outside legal operations. I highly recommend reading this well written book to get insight as to what good KPI's are, how the affect decision making and how to fine tune them to get a lot of performance improvement, by making decisions that fully incorporate KPI's as presented here. Anyone dealing with KPI might want to have a copy of this book on their desk. This is a book which is written incredibly complete but also accessible to those with less of a background who are willing to put in an effort and understand the book.' Great job
Ordered. As always, I recommend that law firms know their clients' KPIs too.

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).
Being excellent and client-focused is no longer enough. Success depends equally on becoming data-centric—extracting data and knowledge from partners' heads into firm-wide systems. Structured, complete data is the launchpad for utilising the potential of Gen-AI, and KPIs are the levers that shape the data-centric culture law firms should want to build.
The launch of resources like your Legal Operations KPIs book are proving instrumental. They’re helping legal teams across the region better align with business goals, navigate local challenges, and drive measurable improvements.
Congratulations to Mori Kabiri on the hot-off-the-press new Legal Operations KPIs handbook that I am honored to have contributed to, along with Mike Russell. Mori had a vision and made it happen.
Way to go team! I skimmed through the pre release copy and I instantly wanted to take it with me! Great work!
