Loeb & Loeb to Host Benefit For Robert L. Sullivan Scholarship

Robert L. Sullivan

Law firm Loeb & Loeb LLP, together with Nashville’s music community, will host a fundraising event to benefit Vanderbilt Law School’s Robert L. Sullivan Scholarship on Thursday, September 13, 5:30 pm at 3rd & Lindsley.

A magna cum laude graduate from Vanderbilt University in 1974 and from Vanderbilt Law School in 1977, Sullivan passed away Sept. 15, 2011 at the age of 59 after a 14-month battle with leukemia.

The benefit event will feature performances by Jim Lauderdale, Sam Bush, John Carter Cash and Janis Ian, as well as surprise special guests. Dinner will be served along with drinks and a silent auction, including a “Cash on Cash” talk from Cash, a co-write with songwriters Kendell Marvel and Lance Miller, a Roy D. Mercer prank call, and a special package from the Opry. Tickets are available here.

Sullivan was a partner at Loeb & Loeb LLP. During his career, his clients included Johnny Cash, B.B. King, Thompson Square, The Fray, Peter Frampton, Lynyrd Skynyrd, EMI Publishing, John Prine, The Carter Family and Waylon Jennings.

The Robert L. Sullivan Scholarship at Vanderbilt Law School was endowed to honor Sullivan’s memory and commitment to legal excellence and to the Nashville community. Donations to the scholarship fund are accepted here.
