About & Mediation Philosophy

Neutral Profile

Hayden Lait has been in the private practice of law since 1975, with an emphasis on commercial, personal injury, and domestic relations litigation. He has been serving as a neutral in the capacity of a mediator and arbitrator since 1995. Until May 2000, Hayden was certified as a Civil Trial Specialist by the State of Tenn. Commission on Continuing Legal Education and Specialization and the National Board of Trial Advocacy. Due to the change in focus of his practice from litigation to serving as a neutral, he has not maintained his certification.

Hayden is a certified arbitrator and mediator by FINRA/ National Association of Securities Dealers, listed by the Tenn.

Since 1994, Hayden has participated in excess of 600 hours of mediation training as a trainer and participant and has conducted over 2200 mediations and arbitrations.
