Kevin Day helps his clients – public entities, transportation agencies, publicly regulated utilities, and private business owners – resolve eminent domain and complex business disputes throughout Southern California. The majority of the public projects on which he has worked have been large-scale and linear in nature, resulting in multi-million dollar challenges and claims that increase in complexity and scope as the project proceeds. His complex business litigation cases have been similarly intertwined with complicated issues featuring dense fact patterns that he must compress to their essence when presenting to the jury.
Kevin has worked on a variety of public projects, including roadway realignments, subterranean pipelines, public transportation facilities, school campus acquisitions and the infrastructure and property rights necessary for the development, production and transmission of renewable energies throughout the state. He has experience in all phases of public projects and heavily-litigated eminent domain actions, including pre-project planning and acquisition, early project implementation, and all aspects of eminent domain and inverse condemnation trial work. In each case, he approaches the situation with the end result in mind – to resolve the matter in a way that aligns with his client’s business and strategic objectives.
To that end, Kevin has extensive experience in complex valuation jury trials addressing novel issues in real estate valuation, severance damages, appraisal theory and other compensation areas. His innovative pretrial motion practice and trial preparation methods distill complex issues for the court and jury, and his experience in successfully addressing constitutional right-to-take issues encompasses multiple bench trials with voluminous and varied administrative records.
In addition to his strong eminent domain practice, Kevin regularly helps clients resolve complex litigation matters arising for both public entities and private businesses, to include positive trial experiences (both bench and jury) and multiple arbitration victories. His business litigation practice has also yielded two published appellate decisions in his clients' favor. Kevin has tried multiple cases and prevailed in matters involving real estate litigation, shareholder derivative and conversion claims, successor liability and complex business disputes.
Kevin is active in professional and business communities, including the International Right of Way Association (Chapters 57 and 67), where he regularly presents and writes for the association’s monthly newsletter. He also has presented at the Appraisal Institute’s Annual Litigation Seminar on multiple occasions, addressing emerging issues in valuation theory. In addition, he is a standing panelist at Rancho Santiago Community College, presenting to small and emerging businesses on both litigation avoidance as well as tips for success when litigation is inevitable.
Kevin was selected as a “Rising Star” by Southern California Super Lawyers® in 2010, 2015 and 2016.
