Reilly J. Dodd

Reilly Dodd is a Senior Legal Assistant in the Nashville office of Sanford Heisler Sharp, a national law firm with offices in the District of Columbia, New York, California, Tennessee, and Maryland. He received his B.A. from Vanderbilt University, where he double majored in Law, History, and Society as well as Political Science.

Before joining Sanford Heisler Sharp, Reilly helped run Vanderbilt University’s chapter of Alpha Phi Omega, a community service organization dedicated to serving underserved communities in Nashville, and interned as a Client Intake Advocate with the Nashville Metro Government Office of Family Safety, an organization dedicated to re-empowering survivors of domestic and interpersonal violence in the greater Davidson County area. Reilly also worked as a Congressional Intern for Jim Cooper (TN-05) during the height of the coronavirus pandemic. There, he would submit daily news briefs to the Congressman and meet with community leaders to discuss the impact of COVID-19 on local businesses.

Reilly hopes to attend law school one day and utilize his experiences to help him practice locally in Nashville, giving back to the community that has given him so much.
