DALLAS, July 15,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- McKool Smith was named the
"Plaintiff Firm of the Year" at The National Law Journal's'
2024 Elite Trial Lawyers Awards held in New York City on July
11, 2024. The ceremony recognized U.S.-based law firms that
have performed exemplary and innovative work on behalf of
plaintiffs in high-stakes bench or jury trials or in major
settlements.
The winners must have scored a significant plaintiff victory
during the contest period and demonstrated an impressive history of
success over the last three to five years. Additionally, recognized
firms must have devoted at least 50% of their litigation resources
to plaintiffs' work and shown innovative approaches to case
resolution.
Over the past year, McKool Smith's lawyers have secured a string
of significant client victories, including a $445 million verdict for Netlist against
Micron, a high-profile summary judgment win in a landmark RMBS
case, a $303 million patent
infringement verdict against Samsung, and significant
victory for junior bondholders in a complex financial dispute
involving rights to over $400 million
in principal recoveries stemming from the modification of mortgage
loans underlying 36 RMBS trusts.
"Our lawyers go above and beyond to produce outstanding results
for our clients," said McKool Smith Managing Principal and Chairman
David Sochia. "This award is a
testament to the strength of our team across various practice areas
and the high level of commitment and performance our lawyers
demonstrate in and outside of the courtroom."

Angeles, Marshall, New
