Certain members of Chambers have significant experience in matters concerning parental orders, particularly within the context of an overseas commercial surrogacy agreement.
In addition to parental order applications we have experience advising and representing clients in residence, contact and child support applications where disputes arise within the context of children born as a result of assisted reproductive techniques.
In appropriate circumstances this is an area in which some members of chambers are willing to accept instructions on a direct access basis.
