Theresa L. Sousa

Theresa L. Sousa is a principal at Bianchi Brouillard Sousa & O’Connell, P.C. in Providence. Her practice includes business and corporate law, commercial transactions, commercial litigation, employment law, civil litigation, personal injury, and real estate. This broad civil and business practice allows her to work on matters that range from company operations and agreements to disputes, workplace issues, property concerns, and injury claims requiring litigation or negotiated resolution.

Sousa earned a J.D., cum laude, from Roger Williams University School of Law and a B.S. in Marketing, summa cum laude, from the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. Her strong academic record in law and business-related study supports a practice involving corporate decisions, commercial relationships, transactions, and litigation. The combination of legal and marketing education also provides a business-oriented framework for understanding the operational context surrounding contracts, company disputes, employment issues, and real estate matters.

Sousa’s work spans transactional and litigation assignments. Her corporate and commercial practice addresses business law and transactions, while her litigation experience includes commercial disputes, employment matters, civil cases, personal injury, and real estate concerns. These areas can intersect when a business transaction leads to a dispute, a workplace issue affects an organization, or a real estate matter requires litigation. Her practice therefore combines preventive business counseling with representation in contested matters.

Theresa L. Sousa is admitted to practice in Rhode Island and Massachusetts and before the United States District Courts for Rhode Island and Massachusetts. She is a member of the Rhode Island Bar Association, Massachusetts Bar Association, and American Bar Association. Her role as a principal and her broad practice reflect experience across corporate law, transactions, litigation, employment, personal injury, and real estate, serving clients with both ongoing business needs and disputed civil matters.
