McKool Smith is a finalist for The American Lawyer “National Boutique/Specialty Litigation Department of the Year.” All finalists will be celebrated at a gala on December 5, 2018, in New York City.
McKool Smith was selected based on achievements spanning the past two years across various practice areas, including a $9.4 million verdict for legendary music producer Quincy Jones against the Michael Jackson estate, a widely-reported $15 million jury verdict for The Roman Catholic Archbishop of Los Angeles involving the sale of a convent to pop icon Katy Perry, a trial win before the International Trade Commission (ITC) on behalf of industry leader TiVo Corp. in a patent infringement dispute against Comcast, insurance recovery victories for Warren Pumps and Verizon, and a $244 million settlement with media giant News Corp. in an antitrust class action suit brought by a class of consumer product companies.
The American Lawyer Industry Awards are recognitions meant to honor the exceptional work that goes on across the entire legal services delivery spectrum and the increasing interconnectedness among members of that community.
