Naju R. Lathia was selected by the South Asian Bar Association of New Jersey (SABA-NJ) as the recipient of the 2022 Young Lawyer of the Year Award in recognition of her contributions to the local and national organization and the South Asian legal community.

The Annual Gala is SABA-NJ's largest event of the year, and commemorated the work of the organization, as well as leaders within the South Asian legal and business communities of New Jersey.

"I'm honored to be recognized by SABA-NJ, an organization that I hold in high regard for its focus on promoting the South Asian legal community. SABA-NJ was an important part of my development as an attorney, and I look forward to continuing to work with SABA-NJ," stated Lathia.

She also represents employers in a wide range of matters where she provides defense advice and representation to management when they are faced with criminal issues.
