John Day is a highly experienced, City-trained, litigator, who qualified as a solicitor in 1998.
John specialises in complex commercial litigation. His practice focuses on civil fraud, financial services and high value professional negligence disputes, but he also advises on a broad range of commercial matters, including contractual, trust, partnership joint-venture and company disputes.
Many of John’s cases have an international element to them and he frequently handles applications for freezing injunctions, third party disclosure orders and other forms of urgent interim relief.
For the first 5 years of his career, John worked as an international shipping and trade lawyer, mainly for Scandinavian ship-owners and insurers.
In 2001, he joined Baker McKenzie, where he broadened his litigation experience by working on larger, more diverse, commercial, disputes.
In 2010, John co-founded the highly successful boutique litigation practice, DS Law (formerly DaySparkes Solicitors) of Gray’s Inn, which has been ranked by the UK Legal 500 as a leading London law firm for commercial and banking litigation since 2012.
