Of Counsel
Kathy O’Sullivan’s practice at Sycamore Legal® focuses on technology transactions and related privacy issues.
An experienced transactional attorney, Kathy joined Sycamore Legal® following twenty years as corporate counsel with a San Francisco-based trade association. Her in-house experience included drafting and negotiating software agreements and other IT contracts, among a wide range of other services. Kathy’s prior legal experience also included litigation and advice while at the San Francisco law firm Lillick & Charles LLP (since merged into Nixon Peabody LLP), and at the Berkeley City Attorney’s Office.
Kathy leverages her varied background to provide Sycamore Legal® clients with transactional services and advice at a high, yet practical level. She is well familiar with litigation, and strives to avoid it in her deals.
