Philip White

Phil White's 30-year legal career focused on the construction of large-scale infrastructure projects around the world and the disputes that arise from them. He capped his legal career as co-leader of the Infrastructure Practice Group at Dentons US, LLP and still serves as an adjunct professor at Columbia University's School of Engineering, teaching on managing and resolving construction disputes. Mr. White has also been active as a volunteer working with the youth and stewardship programs at his local church, providing business and legal support to international development projects through the Episcopal Church, serving on the boards of several nonprofits and providing legal representation to nonprofits and indigent criminal defendants. He earned a B.A. in economics from New York University and a J.D. from Cardozo Law School.
