In the News: White ’02 Achieves Success in Legal Career

by Kate Helm

Evan J. White ’02 has been tapped as a 2013 Rising Star in labor and employment law in the New York Metro edition of Super Lawyers Magazine, a nationwide rating service. Only 2.5 percent of attorneys in a given state are recognized.

White is a founding partner in White Harris PLLC, a firm that focuses exclusively on the legal representation of business in employment law matters.

“Counseling businesses gives me the opportunity to work hand-in-hand with corporate clients and guide them on avoiding employment-based lawsuits or complaints,” he says.

A government and law graduate with a J.D. from New York Law School, White credits Pam Brewer, director of student leadership, with helping him develop his capabilities through his roles as an orientation leader and member of Student Government.

White has been quoted in articles related to employment law issues in Fox Business News, Law 360, and American Express Open Forum. He also has contributed articles to Priori Legal, Small Business Update, and the New York State Bar Association Labor & Employment Law Journal.
