In litigation, timing is everything
MasterFile lets you see events two ways: in its live chronology views and in the live case timeline view, and you can switch between them instantly. Because events are arranged precisely as they occurred, with to-the-second accuracy, you can see at a glance how events and facts relate to each other.
Simply select events in the chronology and transform them into high-quality visuals with one click.
You can create as many different litigation timelines as needed.

Update or add new events as your case progresses
Updating a case timeline with additional facts is as easy as selecting them from the chronology and clicking ‘Add’.
You can narrow visible events down to the ones you are interested in by filtering them by dates and durations, groups, issues and other properties.
Clicking on any event in the litigation timeline takes you back to its source and evidence.
