OVERVIEW

Linking a Contact When Creating a New Case

When you are adding a new case/matter to the system, you will be presented with a screen called Client & Contact Link (pictured below). This is where you can link all related parties to the new case. Related parties can be client, experts, witnesses, co-counsel, etc.

Please Note: If you would like to link a contact that hasn't been created in MyCase yet, you can use the "Add a new contact" or "Add a new company" buttons to create a new contact record.

You can link as many clients and contacts to a case as you'd like. As you link them, their names will show up in the list.
