He also served as the USAO’s Appellate Chief, supervising the office’s appellate work in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit and assisting with complex legal issues in district court.

Prior to these roles, Rascoe served as a federal prosecutor from 2019 to 2023 in the USAO’s criminal division where he handled similar matters.

Before entering public service, Rascoe was an associate at the firm from 2017 to 2019.

Rascoe earned his law degree from Vanderbilt University Law School in 2015, where he served as an Articles Editor of the Vanderbilt Law Review. After law school, he served as a judicial clerk for the Honorable Gilbert S. Merritt of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit.

“We are thrilled to welcome Rascoe back to Sherrard Roe,” says Albert Bart, leader of the firm’s Management Committee. “His leadership, expertise and deep understanding of our firm and culture makes him an invaluable part of our team.
