Grant Dickson was born and raised in Franklin, Tennessee, a small town right outside of Nashville. He received his B.A. in English and German from Washington & Lee University in 2002 and his law degree from Vanderbilt University Law School in 2007.
After law school, Grant moved to Washington, D.C., and joined Latham & Watkins, LLP to work on climate change and clean energy issues. He was involved in representations before the FERC, the U.S. EPA, federal courts, and state public utility commissions on behalf of electric and gas utilities, independent power producers, project developers, and manufacturers of renewable technologies. Grant also represented clean energy companies before Congress and federal agencies on legislative affairs and other policy issues.
In 2010, Grant moved home to Nashville and joined Sherrard & Roe, PLC (now, Sherrard Roe Voigt & Harbison, PLC) where his law practice became much broader. He represented a variety of businesses, private equity and venture capital firms, and investors in a wide array of corporate and transactional matters, including providing counsel on general business and operational matters, corporate governance, contracts, mergers and acquisitions, and equity and debt financings.
After years of coming out to Montana in the summers to fly fish, Grant attended a legal seminar at Big Sky Resort in January 2014 and that was it. A few months later he packed up and moved to Montana. His small-town roots have made him feel at home ever since.
Since coming to Montana, Grant has just about done it all…from working in fly fishing shops to booking meetings and conventions for Big Sky Resort to being a manufacturer’s sales representative in the fly fishing and outdoor industries for some of Montana’s most established brands, including R.L. Winston Rod Co. and Montana Fly Company.
Grant has also practiced law and worked with individuals and businesses across the state to help them pursue their Montana dreams, whatever they may be. He has worked on real estate matters ranging from ranch sales to residential homes to commercial leases. He has represented a solar energy company before the Governor’s Office and the Montana Department of Revenue. Grant has also helped clients start new businesses and advised them on a wide variety of issues to help them grow.
When he is not working, Grant chases trout, hikes, and skis all over Montana and Yellowstone.
