Surrogacy

We are at the forefront of surrogacy law. We offer clear, accurate and up-to-date advice to assist you with a successful surrogacy. Our extensive pool of UK and international experts enables us to provide a holistic approach, whether the surrogate is UK-based or abroad.

Surrogacy is legal in the UK. However, due to the complexities in current UK law in ensuring intended parents are legally recognised as the child’s parents, it is crucial to consult a specialist modern family law solicitor before embarking upon surrogacy, for clear, practical advice about your options and the process of applying for and securing your legal parenthood. It is not always possible to take this early advice and we can advise and assist with resolving problems that may occur later in the surrogacy process.

Assisted Conception

We can advise on the legal rules and structures which exist to help both single parents and couples expand their families using assisted conception.

We ensure we give you the accurate, high-quality advice and the best possible chance of avoiding any issues as you pursue fertility treatment. Our wide-ranging expertise includes donor conception, embryo donation and co-parenting.

Adoption

The legal process of adoption varies depending on each family. We provide advice for all the various ways a child may come to a family for adoption. These can include being the step-child of one parent, through the local authority or having been adopted abroad.  Taking early, specialist advice enables you to feel well-informed and in control of the legal procedures.
