Provided by Family & Family Law Firm
Family & Family Law Firm, co-founded by Fang Tan, a renowned lawyer in the field of marriage and family law, focuses on litigation and non-litigation in the field of marriage and family affairs, as well as wealth inheritance. The firm is dedicated to its mission of " fostering the happiness of each family, achieving the prosperity of our society, advancing the rule of law through individual cases ".
We have taken on significant and challenging cases during the second instance trial, reversing the initial trial losses. In the first "surrogate boy-girl twins custody " case in China, Fang Tan boldly put forward the principle of “the best interests of the child” in the absence of specific legislation. This move successfully reversed the unfavourable decision of the first trial, leading to the first-ever citation of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child in a Chinese court judgment. The representation statement of Fang Tan was fully adopted by the court and was honoured as one of the top ten legal documents in 2016. Additionally, this case was also named as a typical case of women and children's rights protection by the All-China Women's Federation and Shanghai Women's Federation, contributing to the inclusion of the principle of "the best interest of the minor child" into the Civil Code.
