About · Stephen C. Nault

Lawyer, broker, instructor — in that order of how the work gets done.

Stephen Nault practices business and real estate law in Gallatin, Tennessee. Before law school he spent six years as a Tennessee licensed real estate agent, and he continues to hold an active managing broker's license alongside his law practice.

That combination — attorney, broker, TREC instructor, and Rule 31 mediator — shapes how matters are analyzed from intake through resolution.

Approach

Direct, prepared, and limited in scope.

A practice run by one attorney rather than a team by design. Every matter is evaluated, scoped, and handled by the same person.

One attorney, start to finish.

Your intake isn't triaged to an associate. The person who takes the fit call is the person drafting the filings.

Industry-informed, not just book-learned.

Real estate law reads differently when you've spent years actually selling and leasing property. That grounding changes what questions get asked.

A dispute-resolution orientation.

Being a Rule 31 mediator shapes how every problem gets framed — whether mediation is on the table or not. The goal is the outcome, not the fight.

Scope-clear engagements.

Every matter starts with a written scope. You'll know what's included, what isn't, and what happens if the matter expands.
