Overview
At McKool Smith, we treat every case as if it will go to trial. Our strength in commercial litigation means we litigate—and, most importantly, try—complex cases involving a diverse range of disputes.
From the very start, our lawyers employ a collaborative thesis development process, through which we identify pertinent legal, factual, and commercial issues. Then, we develop a comprehensive strategy that effectively drives the process from discovery through trial or other resolution.
