The problem
Managing a case should not feel chaotic.
Court preparation can quickly become scattered across emails, folders, spreadsheets and message threads. McKenzieCMS brings the work back into one structured system.

A purpose-built case workspace beats folders and spreadsheets.

Smart Case Work Timer
Track work as it happens across every case. Each case has its own independent timer, so you can move between matters without losing billable time or mixing client records.
Choose the work type, set the hourly rate, pause and resume when needed, add session notes, and watch the live billing value update while the timer runs.
When work is complete, McKenzieCMS can post the entry directly to the client ledger, feed the Financial Management dashboard, build daily timesheets, and produce immediate invoices from recorded time and ledger entries.

Can I export everything?
The platform includes user, case and document export controls as part of the privacy and GDPR toolset.
