Technology background
Paul has spent more than 30 years working in IT, technical support, infrastructure and systems problem-solving. That experience shaped McKenzieCMS as a structured, practical and reliable workspace.
A practical system built from real-world needs.
McKenzieCMS was not created as an abstract software idea. It was built to solve the practical problems people face when managing evidence, documents, deadlines, hearing preparation and case information in one place.

Private investigation experience
Many years in private investigation developed skills in evidence handling, chronology building, document review, identifying inconsistencies and preparing clear written reports.
⚖️
First-hand court experience
McKenzieCMS has been influenced by Paul’s own experience of going through divorce and Family Court proceedings, including the pressure of organising complex material as a litigant in person.
Why McKenzieCMS exists
During his own Family Court proceedings, Paul found that the challenge was not only understanding the process. It was staying organised while managing documents, disclosure, correspondence, hearings, tasks and evidence under pressure.
“I wanted one workspace that could bring together evidence, documents, timelines, finances, hearing preparation and client communication. When I could not find that system, I built it.”
The result is McKenzieCMS: a case management platform designed around practical preparation, not legal jargon. It is intended to help users see what has been done, what still needs doing, and where important information sits.
