For people looking to create or build their family through Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ARTs) or third party reproduction, 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 or 小飞机加速器; and
   - advocating on your behalf.
