McKool Smith Principals Recognized Among Leading Lawyers in America

DALLAS – Once again, McKool Smith co-founder Mike McKool and firm principal Samuel F. Baxter have earned spots on Lawdragon’s annual listing of the 500 Leading Lawyers in America. The 2008 edition marks the third consecutive year that the pair have been recognized among the country’s top attorneys.

Lawdragon publishes guides to the country’s top lawyers and provides an online rating service for attorneys. To compile the Leading Lawyers in America, the publication utilized online balloting and independent research involving interviews with thousands of lawyers nationwide. Fewer than .01 percent of all attorneys in the country earned a spot on the listing.

The Leading Lawyers in America is featured in the Fall 2008 issue of Lawdragon, available in October. The complete list can be found at http://www.lawdragon.com/.

This Lawdragon recognition is just the latest honor for Mr. McKool and Mr. Baxter, who both recently were featured in the 2008 edition of Best Lawyers in America, and were recognized among the Top 100 attorneys in the state in the annual Texas Super Lawyers listing.

McKool Smith has more than 95 attorneys in Dallas, Austin, Marshall, New York and Washington, D.C., handling commercial and intellectual property litigation for national and international clients.
