A few years out of college during the real estate boom of the mid-1980s, Bill O’Sullivan said he “developed the vague idea that I might want to be a real estate attorney.” That changed in 1986 when O’Sullivan and his then-fiancee, now wife, Joy attended a wedding and chatted with a guest who was about to attend law school. “To that point, the idea of law school had been buried in my subconscious. The next day, though, lying on a large rock after hiking, I had the revelation I should go to law school.” The next day he drove to the University of Connecticut Law School and picked up his application and the Norwalk native, an attorney since 1990, never looked back.

O’Sullivan has worked for two law firms in his career: Cohn Birnbaum & Shea from 1990-93 and since 1993 he has been with the Wethersfield firm of O’Sullivan, McCormack, Jensen & Bliss. The firm has had several names changes since O’Sullivan started working there. The 57-year-old O’Sullivan, who litigates business and property disputes at both the trial and appellate levels, among other matters, has been a partner since 1997.
