Andrew Day

Andrew is an established family finance specialist with extensive experience of dealing with financial disputes between separating spouses, civil partners and unmarried couples, as a barrister, arbitrator and neutral evaluator at private Financial Dispute Resolution appointments. 

He deals regularly with cases of significant legal and/or factual complexity, both where the parties’ means are substantial and where the resources available for distribution are more modest, to advise and to appear as an advocate, nationwide, at all stages of proceedings, at first instance and on appeal, acting alone or with leading counsel.  

He is often instructed in cases involving, for example, the alleged concealment or dissipation of assets; nuptial agreements; significant pre-acquired, inherited or other non-matrimonial wealth; farming assets; businesses, large and small; complex and valuable public service, Armed Forces or self-invested pensions; on- and off-shore trusts; jurisdictional issues; and substantial assets overseas.  

He is recognised in the professional directories as one of the leading junior barristers in his field, ranked in ‘Band 1’ by Chambers & Partners and ‘Tier 1’ by the Legal 500.

He has a particular interest in non-court-based dispute resolution and is frequently appointed as an arbitrator, or a neutral evaluator in a wide range of complex and interesting financial disputes.  He was the only barrister based outside London and the southeast to be recognised in the Legal 500’s inaugural ‘private FDR judges and arbitrators’ rankings.  He is also a Resolution-trained family mediator.

He also sits, part-time, as a Recorder in the Financial Remedies Court and in the Family Court on the Western Circuit, hearing complex, high value financial claims as well as cases regarding the welfare of children.

He is the Deputy Head of the Family Finance Team and a member of the Bar Council’s Alternative Dispute Resolution Panel.
