Preston Sullivan Selected to Conner & Winters Partnership
Tulsa, Okla. (January 10, 2025) – The partnership at Conner & Winters has voted to elevate Preston Sullivan to the role of partner.
A commercial litigator in the firm’s Oklahoma City office, Sullivan represents companies in contract disputes and various business-related matters. As an associate, he has worked for clients in a broad range of industries, including manufacturing, construction, commercial real estate, medical technology, and more.
“Preston’s creativity and pragmatism serve the firm’s business clients well,” says Oklahoma City partner Dillon Curran. “He’s a valued member of our litigation team and I’m pleased he’s joining the ranks of our partnership.”
Working closely with other Conner & Winters litigators, Preston has developed experience in a variety of contract disputes, including construction defect claims, employment disputes, tortious interference claims, unlawful detainer actions, commercial foreclosures, and breach of contract disputes.
For his work as an emerging litigator, Sullivan has been recognized by Super Lawyers® on the list of Oklahoma Rising Stars in both 2023 and 2024. That distinction is more than warranted, according to corporate litigation partner Kiran Phansalkar.
“Preston is the very personification of a “rising star” in the legal community,” said Phansalkar, who Sullivan has worked closely with during his time as an associate. “Preston has the distinctive ability to combine a zealous advocacy for his client, while still working in a professional manner with opposing counsel,” Phansalkar added.
Sullivan joined Conner & Winters in 2022 after working at a boutique law firm in Oklahoma City. "From the time Preston joined Conner & Winters, he has been a consummate model of professionalism and hard work for our clients,” said managing partner Kevin Redwine. “We’re thrilled to recognize his efforts by elevating him to partner, and we are looking forward to seeing his growth continue.”
A 2018 graduate from the University of Oklahoma College of Law, Preston was an accomplished law student who held several distinguished internships with the United States District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma. Prior to law school, he earned his Bachelor of Arts degree from Rhodes College in Memphis, Tennessee.
Sullivan will be honored and recognized at a dinner at Southern Hills Country Club in February.
