As the legal sector continues its transition into an organized business model, more legal operations professionals are looking to start driving value for their legal departments.

To offer some guidance, a group of in-house legal operations experts and consultants from different countries came together to launch an open-source online resource called “The Legal Metrics Portal,” which went live April 27. The free tool, designed with collaboration from NetApp, PwC Australia NewLaw, Elevate, LegalOps.com, and consultancy Is Inspired, is composed of a library of legal metrics that the founders find essential to drive legal service delivery, a catalog of metrics listed alongside their definitions, and a self-guided wizard and search bar.
