Henry Day
Henry is a Chancery and commercial barrister, specialising in pensions, financial services and private client litigation and advisory work.
He is recommended in Chambers UK (Pensions) as 'an up-and-coming junior' who is "bright and user-friendly": "his in-depth knowledge of pensions litigation far exceeds many of his peers and he demonstrates the ability to work seamlessly with witnesses, instructing solicitors and co-counsel."
Significant recent cases in which Henry has been instructed include: British Airways plc v Airways Pension Scheme Trustee Ltd [2018] EWCA Civ 1533 and [2017] EWHC 1191 (Ch); Sogefi Filtration Ltd v Havard & Ors (2017); C.Brewer & Sons Ltd v Masterson & Ors (2017); Barnardo's & Ors v Buckinghamshire & Ors [2016] EWCA Civ 1064; Capita ATL Pension Trustees Ltd & Ors v Sedgwick Financial Services Ltd and Mercer Ltd (2016); and Abouraya v Sigmund & Ors [2014] EWHC 277 (Ch).
Henry has spent time on secondment at the Financial Conduct Authority and in the Financial Services Disputes and Investigations department at Eversheds (now Eversheds Sutherland (International)) LLP, giving him hands-on experience of financial services regulation from the perspective of both the regulator and the enforcement target.
He co-edits Wurtzburg & Mills: Building Society Law, contributes to LexisPSL Pensions and regularly gives seminars, both in-house and at conferences, on the areas of law in which he specialises.
Henry is the recipient of Lincoln's Inn's Lord Bowen and Lord Mansfield scholarships, as well as a Hardwicke Award and a Buchanan Prize, and of City University Law School's Everard Ver Heyden Foundation Prize.
