Longtime commercial lawyer James T. Shearin has worked to build Pullman & Comley’s Connecticut footprint over the past 18 years as a member of the firm’s Executive Committee. Over the years, Bridgeport-based Pullman has branched out by adding offices in Hartford, Waterbury, Stamford and White Plains, N.Y.

Most recently, Pullman & Comley expanded its education law practice by hiring six lawyers in Hartford, while announcing plans to double its office space downtown by the end of the year.
