On 4 February 1884 Mackenzie was called to the bar of Quebec and opened his own office at Richmond, later going into partnership with Henry Aylmer, who had been a member of the House of Commons from 1874 to 1878, and with Auguste-Maurice Tessier. Later he practised alone again, and was appointed King's Counsel on 30 June 1903.[1]
