The National Law Journal publishes the exclusive list annually, including only 20 firms from across the nation. McKool Smith is one of only two firms to be selected for the second year in a row.
Firm co-founder Mike McKool was quoted as saying: “There are many, many law firms eligible for this honor, which is why we’re so pleased McKool Smith is included again this year. We’ve had several significant courtroom wins over the past couple years, and we’ve also worked hard to grow the firm in areas that are important to our clients.”
Among the accomplishments described in the publication are the firm’s rapid expansion in bankruptcy cases and related litigation based on the firm’s ability to avoid conflicts with major banks. In addition, the firm has won eight of the country’s Top 100 Verdicts during the past two years – more than any other law firm in the nation.
With more than 125 attorneys in Austin, Dallas, Houston, Marshall, New York, and Washington DC, McKool Smith handles complex commercial litigation, intellectual property claims, bankruptcy matters, and white collar litigation for companies and individuals across the globe. The firm is recognized as one of the premier trial law firms in the United States based on significant courtroom victories and substantial settlements for domestic and international clients.
