Any thoughts on McKool Smith? Considering lateral opportunity to IP Litigation group (Dallas office) as mid-level associate. Seems they have a decent reputation for plaintiff-side patent litigation, however, their peak may be tied to the heyday of EDTX patent litigation (late 2000s/early 2010s). Where do they stand today (in terms of work flow/quality, associate opportunities, culture, quality of life, etc.)?

Unsure about therapist - she is in her 70s and always has problems with technology, frustrated because might not be a good fit but don’t want to start from scratch with someone new. I don’t mean to discriminate against age, but I’m starting to think she should be retired and her flakiness around appointment times makes me wonder if she’s just taking me on for the money. We almost always need to reschedule and she’s offering evenings and weekends- is this weird or is it me?
