William C. White II

Biographical Information

William C. White, II is a founding member and managing partner of Parkman, Adams & White, LLC. This firm traces its roots to the small southern town in Alabama where Jim Parkman first began the practice of law in the late 70's. Jim's prior work experience at a local financial institution gave him keen insight which he has been able to parlay in recent years into a successful corporate white collar/compliance practice. It is estimated that in Jim's thirty years of law practice, he has tried several hundred trials to a jury verdict.

William White's education includes a degree in Accounting from the University of Alabama's Culverhouse School of Accountancy. William then gained his law degree from the University of Alabama's school of law in 1998. Upon graduation, William returned home to work for his father's law firm where he gained extensive experience in real estate and insurance matters. Like Martin, William also gained significant jury trial experience as a local prosecutor.

Over the past 6 years, the firm has handled some of the most high profile cases in the country. The firm was the lead counsel for former HealthSouth CEO Richard Scrushy in his acquittal of over 80 counts charging him with corporate misconduct. This verdict was the first ever prosecution under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and is believed to be the only case in which a corporate executive has been found not guilty of charges related to fraud within a publicly traded company.
