Abigail Day

Abigail Day mediates a broad range of commercial, corporate and civil disputes, including banking and finance, property, employment, shareholder, partnership, insolvency, construction and professional negligence matters. Her practice regularly involves complex disputes with significant legal, financial and reputational considerations.

Prior to becoming a full-time mediator and arbitrator, Abigail was a corporate lawyer specialising in tax within an international law firm. This experience required her to advise clients across a wide range of industries while navigating highly technical legal and regulatory frameworks. The combination of legal expertise and commercial understanding now underpins her mediation practice.

Abigail has extensive experience resolving disputes involving commercial contracts, mergers and acquisitions, sales of goods and services, property rights, landlord and tenant issues, employment relationships, professional services and shareholder conflicts. She is also regularly appointed as an arbitrator and adjudicator, providing additional insight into litigation risk, evidence and dispute resolution processes.

As Abigail describes her approach, success often comes from identifying what is most important to the parties rather than focusing solely on legal positions. She works actively with parties and advisers to uncover underlying concerns, develop practical settlement options and maintain momentum throughout the process. Known for her determination and persistence, she is committed to exploring every possible route towards resolution and helping parties achieve commercially workable outcomes.
