In a statement, Queensland Attorney-General Shannon Fentiman said that Mr Sullivan is “among the state’s leading construction barristers” and “was highly respected” during his tenure as Bar Association president.
Speaking about the appointment, Ms Fentiman said: “I wish to congratulate Mr Sullivan on his appointment. It is a true honour — and one with great responsibility — to sit on the bench of the Supreme Court of Queensland. Mr Sullivan has already demonstrated he has the capabilities to handle those duties to the highest level.
“Mr Sullivan has a distinguished academic history, having been awarded the University Medal at the University of Queensland and a master of laws from Cambridge University, in which he took a first. Mr Sullivan has extensive legal experience, having appeared in many complex and very high-profile matters, and serving as a past president of the Bar Association of Queensland.”
