Surrogacy & Fertility Law

We understand that surrogacy is rarely a first option for couples seeking to have a family. Our primary concern is ensuring that parties seeking to enter into surrogacy arrangements are fully aware of their legal rights, and to make the process of obtaining the necessary legal information as seamless as possible.

Ben Sayer is the firms leading surrogacy and fertility law specialist who for over 15 years has been providing much sought-after advice on domestic and international surrogacy arrangements, third party reproduction and egg donation.

Our team now enjoys a breadth of experience that enables Sayer Jones to put the interests of our clients at the forefront whilst having a key appreciation for the rights and responsibilities of all-important parties involved in assisted reproduction. We regularly act on behalf of intended parents and surrogates within Australia, as well as providing bespoke advice to intended parents undertaking arrangements in overseas jurisdictions.

Our services include:

  • Providing advice and representation for domestic surrogacy arrangements (both gestational and traditional);
  • Making application for Parentage Orders within Australia;
  • Preparing and advising on surrogacy and donor agreements;
  • Advising on international arrangements;
  • Acting for couples seeking Family Law orders in the context of cross border surrogacy.

If you decide you’d like us to act on your behalf in relation to your surrogacy arrangement, or are seeking early advice as to your options, contact us to arrange an appointment.  We understand taking time away from work or other commitments can be difficult and are happy to conference early morning or evenings.
