Legal services

We are the first and only UK fertility clinic to offer legal advice. Why? Because we want to ensure you protect the family we help you create. Working with
Lester Aldridge LLP and leading specialist solicitor Natalie Gamble, we offer all our patients legal information and a personal advice consultation.

We can advise you on your legal position as parents, the rights of your child and the legal position of any donor or surrogate you use. In particular:

Patients conceiving with donated eggs or sperm

We will help you navigate the law on rights to information, storage and the use of donated eggs and sperm. Those using known sperm donors also need to take particular care over the legalities.

Same sex couples

Currently a lesbian non-birth mother is not recognised as a legal parent, but we will tell you what you need to do to protect her position, and explain the proposed changes to the law.

Surrogacy patients

It is important to understand what you will need to do to become your child’s legal parents, as your surrogate (and her partner if she has one) will be the legal parents at birth.
