Associate Jason Tang has been named as The Times' Lawyer of the Week for his work on one of the first cases concerning a baby who was switched at birth in the UK.
The column runs as a Q&A in the weekly edition of The Brief legal newsletter and on The Times website, and recognises lawyers acting in the most high-profile and cutting-edge cases in the market.
In the article, Jason discusses the unique challenges presented by the case, telling reporter Catherine Baksi "this was the first known baby switch case in the UK. There was no previous case law or available guidance on how to value such a unique claim." He also discusses his wider career, including the best advice he has received and the biggest decisions he has had to take.
Jason and the team have received widespread coverage of their work on this case, with Jason having been cited in a BBC article on the case, as well as interviewed on BBC Radio West Midlands after the BBC broke the news of the first ever reported case of its kind in the UK late last year.
I admire and will for ever be indebted to the brilliant and skilled supervisors I have had from the beginning of my career as a paralegal, to a trainee and as a solicitor now. Without their guidance and support, I would not have been where I am today.
I am delighted to see Jason named as Lawyer of the Week for his work in this important and ground-breaking case. Congratulations Jason on this well-deserved recognition!
