Add Me to Your Address Book

Kate Day was born in Lakenheath, England and raised in Tampa, Florida. She graduated magna cum laude from Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas, in 1999, and cum laude from the Notre Dame Law School, South Bend, Indiana, in 2002. While at Notre Dame, Kate participated in the Immigration Clinic, where her filings and arguments were instrumental in obtaining asylum status for an asylee, who escaped the Rwandan genocide. Drawing on that experience, as part of her current practice Kate advises local religious organizations on immigration and visa issues.

Immediately after law school, Kate clerked for the Honorable Charles R. Wilson of the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit. After completion of this prestigious clerkship, Kate moved to Western Massachusetts and joined Egan, Flanagan and Cohen. Kate began practicing civil litigation with the firm in 2003, specializing in civil rights defense and appellate advocacy. Kate has briefed numerous cases in the Massachusetts state and federal courts, including the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit and the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court. Among other achievements, Kate prepared the successful brief in the precedent-setting First Circuit case, Mass. Mut. Life Ins. Co. v. Fraidowitz, 443 F.3d 128 (2006).

Kate excels at representing businesses and non-profits, which led her to expand her practice to corporate law. Kate currently chairs the firm’s corporate department overseeing the firm’s advice on business and non-profit formations, maintenance, regulatory compliance, and other common issues on which the firm provides advice and counsel to local organizations. Within her practice, Kate has developed a considerable wealth of experience in advising not only local businesses but also non-profits and religious organizations.

Kate is married to Tom Day, a Western Massachusetts native and fellow attorney at Egan, Flanagan and Cohen. Kate is the past President of the Notre Dame Club of the Pioneer Valley. She has participated in and served in numerous community-based and volunteer capacities.
