Hon. Jay Young (ret.) is recognized as one of the best mediators, arbitrators and special masters, with a focus on complex cases. He brings more than 25 years of expertise in the areas of business/commercial, personal injury and real estate law. From 2014 to 2021, he was a business litigation member at Howard & Howard, PLLC, an internationally recognized law firm. Prior to that he was the Litigation Department Chair, Shareholder and Associate at Marquis Aurbach Coffing for almost 20 years. As a result, Jay fully appreciates and understands the costs, risks, and potential rewards of trying high stakes cases. He has also participated in hundreds of mediations and arbitrations as an advocate. Jay has always been a proponent of alternative dispute resolution. Jay’s commitment to the efficient out-of-court resolution of business, consumer, personal injury and complex cases prompted him to incorporate ADR into his practice. As such, Jay has been appointed an arbitrator in well over 300 matters and has held an ADR certification since 1994.. Throughout the years he has served as a Mediator, Judge, Special Master, Nevada Supreme Court Settlement Judge (appellate mediator), Hearing Master for the 8th Judicial District Court, and as an Arbitrator in thousands of matters. He has been a Judge Pro Tem with the City of Henderson, Nevada Municipal Court and was appointed as a Special Master to the Business Court Division of the Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County, Nevada.. As an arbitrator, Jay believes in a streamlined, economical process but will always defer to the contract, the law, and the needs of the parties. He knows that preparation is key and will work tirelessly to familiarize himself with as much history, facts and law as parties have provided in order to render a fair and reasoned decision. As a mediator, Jay looks for business solutions just as much as monetary ones. He relies heavily on his business and legal acumen to facilitate creative and equitable resolutions, often restoring the parties’ confidence and saving future business relationships.. Jay’s reputation precedes him; he is only the second attorney in the State of Nevada to be given the prestigious “Master Advocate” designation by the National Institute for Trial Advocacy, recognizing his skills as a litigator and as a teacher of trial and oral advocacy skills to other attorneys. These skills have led him to become a recognized author of books teaching other attorneys how to refine their legal practice.. Jay’s judicial experience as a hearing master, discovery commissioner, settlement judge, and special master is unparalleled. From 2011 to 2021, he served as Judge Pro Tempore for the Henderson Nevada Municipal Court. Starting in 2021, Jay served as the Discovery/ADR/Short Trial Commissioner for the 8th Judicial District Court in Clark County, Nevada. He has been a Special Master for both the Business Court Division and the Civil Division of the Eighth Judicial Court. From 2016 to 2021 Jay served as a Settlement Judge for the Nevada Supreme Court, a role in which he has resumed in 2023. Jay is available exclusively through Advanced Resolution Management for arbitrations and mediations.

I have been a lawyer for over 45 years. Most of my practice has been litigating contract, real estate, and business disputes including non-compete agreements and partnership/corporate breakups. During the last 15 years about 50% of my time is spent arbitrating and mediating disputes privately and for the American Arbitration Association (AAA). I also spent 17 years as a Nevada Supreme Court Settlement Judge. I try to negotiate or mediate a resolution for my clients, but when the other side will not settle, I use my litigation skills to resolve the dispute.. In addition to practicing law, I try to help young attorneys become better lawyers by writing articles and by lecturing for the Nevada Bar Association, the Clark County Bar and various national legal education companies on various topics such as trial strategy, evictions, mortgage and trust deed foreclosures. I also authored two chapters of the Nevada Civil Practice Manual relating to prejudgment and postjudgment remedies.. I have lived in Vegas most of my life. My dad was a pit boss at the Desert Inn when it opened in the 1950's. He sent for my mom, my sister and me from Florida when I was two. Except for college, I've been in Vegas ever since.. I was a paper boy at age 14 delivering newspapers at 3:30 am every morning on my bicycle. In high school, I wasn't a gifted athlete, so I worked after school and on weekends practicing tennis. I couldn't afford to pay for tennis instructions, so I strung tennis rackets and washed tennis courts in exchange for lessons. I managed to get a scholarship to play college tennis. I paid my own way through college with a tennis scholarship and a work-study program. In 1973, I earned a degree in Business Administration with a Finance emphasis. I worked for a year at a bank and decided to go to law school, but Nevada didn't have a law school at that time.. I went to the University of San Diego School of Law where I served as Research Editor of the San Diego Law Review, worked odd jobs and took out student loans to pay for law school.. After graduating in 1977, I came back to Vegas and got my first job as Deputy District Attorney in the Clark County District Attorney's Office. I then entered private practice and learned how to practice law from some of the best lawyers in town. There were less than 1,500 attorneys in Las Vegas at that time and most attorneys were happy to share their experience.
