Kelly Savage Day

Full Profile

Kelly Savage Day is an appellate attorney and employment litigator with more than 20 years of experience representing employers, governmental entities, insurers, executives, and businesses in high-stakes employment, commercial, and appellate litigation.

Kelly's practice focuses on helping clients position cases for success at every stage of the litigation—from early motion practice through trial, post-trial proceedings, and appeal. Kelly regularly advises trial teams on dispositive motions, preservation of error, jury charge issues, extraordinary writs, appellate strategy, and complex legal issues that can determine the outcome of a case.

Before entering private practice, she served as a judicial law clerk to the Ohio Second District Court of Appeals and two United States District Courts. Those clerkships continue to shape her approach to advocacy by providing insight into how appellate and trial court judges analyze difficult legal questions.

Throughout Kelly's career, she has represented clients before state and federal appellate courts, including matters before the United States Supreme Court, the Ninth Circuit, and the California Supreme Court. Kelly's experience spans employment litigation, commercial litigation, constitutional issues, class actions, wage-and-hour disputes, and high exposure appeals.

She enjoys partnering with trial lawyers in litigation to preserve appellate issues, strengthen dispositive motions, develop winning legal strategy, and help clients achieve successful outcomes.
