Associate, DallasI joined McKool Smith as a summer associate because I believed that I would gain substantive, hands-on experience with actual make-it-or-break-it cases. I’ve returned as an associate because of the opportunities to be a meaningful member of litigation teams, the trust placed in young associates, and the quality of relationships between attorneys at McKool Smith.
Associate, Los AngelesI chose McKool Smith for its strong patent litigation practice and principal-to-associate ratio. As a two-time summer associate, and now as an associate, I get to work directly with principals. McKool Smith has an unparalleled commitment to ensuring younger associates get meaningful experience early in their careers. From staff to attorneys, everyone here is invested in helping young lawyers grow and succeed.
Associate, DallasI chose McKool Smith, not only for the high stakes litigation where young associates have many opportunities to contribute substantial legal work, but for the people as well. The culture at McKool Smith is as good as anywhere I have been, where everyone cares about each other and wants to see you succeed. Having the opportunity to work with, and learn from, some of the best litigators in the country is priceless.
