Lawyer Overview
Venesha White is an Associate in the Litigation Department at Dorf Nelson & Zauderer LLP, where her practice focuses on commercial litigation matters.
Before returning to law school, Ms. White built a twenty-year career in clinical research at Mount Sinai School of Medicine, rising to Clinical Research Program Director at the Tisch Cancer Institute — one of New York’s foremost cancer research programs. In that role, she provided operational leadership of the Institute’s Protocol Review Monitoring System, overseeing the review, approval, and compliance monitoring of clinical research protocols across the program. Her prior positions at Mount Sinai included Lead Clinical Research Coordinator II and Senior Pediatric Clinical Research Coordinator in Hematology Oncology, and Protocol Review and Monitoring Committee Administrator. That career — managing complex research operations, vendor relationships, regulatory compliance, and institutional risk at the highest levels of a major academic medical center — gives Ms. White a substantive understanding of the industries and organizations she now serves as a litigator.
During law school, Ms. White gained clinical experience across a range of practice areas, including criminal prosecution, housing and family law, domestic violence advocacy, and corporate compliance. She served as a legal intern at FUJIFILM Holdings America Corporation, where she supported global compliance initiatives in anti-bribery, anti-kickback, and anti-corruption law, developed compliance training and education materials, and conducted legal research.
Ms. White graduated cum laude from Pace University, Elisabeth Haub School of Law, where she earned an Advanced Certificate in Health Law and Policy with a concentration in Anti-Bribery, Anti-Kickback, and Anti-Corruption. She served as Submissions Editor for the Pace International Law Review.
