Legal Case Management System
Quick answer
What is the Legal Case Management System?
Zinen Legal Case Management System is designed for law firms and legal teams that need a structured record for every matter, from intake and conflict checking through hearings, evidence, documents, billing and settlement.
The supplied system covers case registration, categories, courts, trials, sittings, case tasks, evidence, victims, legal documents, service requests, fee scales, timesheets, disbursements and invoicing. Case records can track limitation dates, next hearings, budgets, costs, revenue and profitability.
The workflow also includes legal calendar synchronisation, client-visible documents where permitted, SMS/WhatsApp/email notifications, public lawyer information and portal functionality. Matter intake includes a conflict-check process so new work can be reviewed against existing cases before acceptance.
