About McKool Smith

McKool Smith is a trial law firm founded in Dallas, Texas, in 1991 and headquartered there, according to publicly available profiles. The firm has offices in Austin, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, Marshall, New York and Washington, D.C. Its core work includes complex commercial litigation, intellectual property litigation (including patent and ITC matters), bankruptcy litigation, white collar defense and insurance recovery. Its published practice list also includes antitrust, class actions, appellate work, employment, healthcare, real estate, and trust and estate litigation.

The firm's New York practice began in 2007 with a single lawyer and has grown since then. The New York team handles commercial litigation, insurance recovery, intellectual property, securities litigation, bankruptcy and white collar defense. The firm's official New York page lists an office at 1301 Avenue of the Americas in New York, NY 10019. A 2019 press release announced a move to One Manhattan West, and some third-party profiles still show that address.
