Parkman White

In 2003, Jim teamed up with partner William White with whom he eventually formed Parkman White, LLP, a firm whose accomplishments read like a page from a book of legal fantasy. While Jim had a long list of successes, his entrance on the national scene came in 2005 when he became lead counsel for HealthSouth CEO Richard Scrushy, who had been indicted in an accounting fraud involving over $2.7 billion. Through blistering cross-examination of the government’s main witness and a revelatory closing argument, Jim was able to secure acquittals on all 36 counts for his client in a landmark case for corporate law.
