Modern Fertility Law represents surrogates, donors, and intended parents. Our expertise in surrogacy law, egg donation law, sperm donation law, and embryo donation law has helped countless clients understand their legal rights and obligations.
Along with the intended parents, each reproductive arrangement can involve one ore more of the following parties:
- A surrogate
- An egg donor
- A sperm donor
- An embryo donor
Each party will always have independent legal representation. Typically, an attorney for the intended parents will prepare a contract. An attorney for the surrogate and/or donor will then review the contract and negotiate revisions.
Whichever party you might be, Milena will secure your legal rights while respecting the non-adversarial nature of these relationships.
