Angela D. Hayden
Founder, Sage Legal, LLC
Managing Member
Angela founded Sage Legal to create a holistic law practice providing innovative counsel to mindful clients. After spending years in the legal and insurance industry, Angela saw that lawyers could serve clients in a more client-friendly, heart-centered way. She saw first-hand how using authentic communication skills could help parties reach resolutions that other lawyers thought were unattainable without extensive (and expensive) litigation or arbitration.
She started her career over 20 years ago in Boston's Financial District and brings the skills she learned in the court room and conference room to how she counsels clients today. She also spent two years along the way in high risk recreational sports insurance, where she honed her negotiation and risk management skills in New England and Eastern Canada.
Angela graduated from the State University of New York at Albany with a degree in Russian language and literature, and received her J.D. from New England Law | Boston in 1999.
She is admitted in Massachusetts and New Hampshire, and is committed to contributing to the mindfulness movement that is taking hold and rapidly spreading throughout the legal profession.
She also coaches other lawyers on simplifying their lives and practices so they, too, can show up for their clients, less stressed, more present, and as the most effective advocates they can be.
Outside of the office, Angela can be found on a tennis court, weeding the vegetable garden in the summer or on skis (downhill or cross country) or snowshoes in the winter. Now and then, she will even agree to a poorly played round of golf.
She is a former ski patroller, serves on the board of directors for the Manchester Rowing Alliance, and volunteers her time for US Tennis Association. She also willingly gives lots of money to tennis clubs in Northern Massachusetts and Southern New Hampshire in furtherance of her pursuit of 3.5.
Angela’s wish is for Sage Legal to provide a safe place for clients to ask questions, share their desires, worries, fears, and dreams without judgment, criticism, or fear of retribution. We’re all on this planet together, we may as well make the best of it.
