Surrogacy law, egg donor law, sperm donor law, embryo donor law and legal parentage

Whether you are a traditional family looking to build your family through non-traditional means, or looking to create or build a non-traditional family, a fertility lawyer can help you to achieve that goal.   For people looking to create or build their family through Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ARTs), a team of people is necessary.  When building a family using donor sperm, eggs or embryos, and/or with the help of a surrogate mother or gestational carrier, a fertility lawyer is a critical part of this collaborative team.  

A fertility lawyer can help you to navigate the murky waters of third party reproductive law in Canada by:

   - drafting and negotiating egg, sperm and embryo donor agreements;
   - drafting and negotiating surrogacy agreements;
   - providing legal representation in frozen gamete or embryo "custody" disputes;
   - bringing an application for a declaration of parentage; and
   - advocating on your behalf.

In addition, I also provide legal services to the fertility industry, including drafting consent documents, conducting legal research and providing legal opinions regarding compliance with relevant legislation and regulations.

It would be my pleasure to help you build your family, or to help another family grow.
