Fertility Law Experts Brisbane

How We Can Help

We have the honour and privilege of helping our clients achieve their dream of becoming parents.

To become a parent, you may need an egg donor, a sperm donor or a surrogate, or maybe all three. The very complex law in this area is not handled by most family lawyers. There is a lot of inaccurate information on the internet. If not done correctly, you may not have a child. You may not be recognised as a parent. You may fight it out in the Family Court. You may end up committing several criminal offences.

We work with our clients and with experts here and overseas to ensure that our clients can become parents as quickly, cheaply and hassle free as possible. This includes looking at alternative solutions to solve the problem or problems – solutions often not thought of by our clients or by others.

Our team is led by partner Stephen Page.

The media has named Stephen as one of Australia’s leading surrogacy lawyers. Stephen is one of three international representatives on the ART committee of the American Bar Association, a member of the Parentage/Surrogacy and LGBT Committees of the International Academy of Family Lawyers, a Fellow of the Academy of Adoption and Assisted Reproduction Attorneys, a member of the Fertility Society of Australia as well as being a member of various family law associations.

Stephen has presented extensively at local, national and international conferences (and written widely) about surrogacy and fertility law. His first surrogacy case was in 1988. Career highlights include presenting at the world’s first international surrogacy conference in Las Vegas in 2011, and obtaining a world first precedent in 2012 as to what constituted “conception”. He was the convenor of Queenslanders for Equality, which successfully lobbied to stop the Queensland government enacting discriminatory changes to Queensland’s surrogacy laws.
