About Us

Slaughter Law Group’s global reputation and top ranking has made the firm the go-to legal experts regarding the multi-faceted and ever-changing legal issues in the United States and abroad surrounding gestational surrogacy, egg and sperm donation. As a boutique law firm, our size allows us to move quickly and our personal experience with infertility and decades of legal practice give our clients legal protection and advice at a level that few firms in the fertility field offer.

Why We Stand Out

You don’t want a one-size-fits-all attorney or form agreement when your rights as a parent are at stake. You need your surrogacy, egg donation, or embryo donation agreement customized to your unique situation and needs. We provide that. Whether you live in the US or internationally, whether you are a heterosexual or same sex couple or a single parent, we have the experience, expertise and an exceptional network of national and international legal experts to ensure that your contract is enforceable and that you are the legal parent of the child.

Our services can start from the moment you walk out of your fertility doctor’s office: Our services include drafting, reviewing and negotiating surrogacy, egg donation, sperm donation, or embryo donation agreements and continue all the way to obtaining the pre-birth court order parentage and expediting the birth certificate and the child’s passport.

You get a Team, not just an Attorney

We are committed to educating, advocating and guiding every client on what they need, what to expect, how to spot red flags and more from day one of your journey, whether it be surrogacy, egg, embryo or sperm donation. More than just a law firm, we are a team of professionals who have been in your shoes where giving expert legal advice in an ever-changing field comes with an understanding of what you face.

Reachable and Responsive

If you can’t reach your attorney when you need them, even the best legal advice can’t help you. We pride ourselves on being reachable, responsive and completing the legal process in weeks, not months.

Customized Concierge Support

In addition to our standard legal services, we offer concierge level support options that can be tailored to your specific needs and journey. Whether you just need help finding and vetting agencies, guidance on what to look for in a surrogate for example or more comprehensive support to streamline the logistics and process, we are there.

Feedback From Clients

“Como padres intencionales, la vertiente jurídica del proceso de gestación subrogada fue desde el primer momento una importante cuestión. Siempre recordaremos la acogida de Lesa y su equipo de asistentes en sus oficinas. La calidez con que nos recibieron, la profesionalidad con la que repasamos todos los contratos y lo que nos facilitó la tarea de entender las características legales del proceso. Además, en todo momento notamos que entedía nuestra posición, nuestras dudas, y los nervios con los que afrontamos algo que supone tanto en nuestra vida. Ha sido un placer trabajar con Lesa, no solo por la profesionalidad sino tambien por la delicadeza con la que nos trató. Resulta muy tranquilizador tener una abogada que se preocupa tanto en que entendamos perfectamente cada línea de los contratos que firmamos. Sirvan estas palabras para recomendar Slaughter Law Group a cualquier persona interesada en recibir asesoría legal en un proceso de gestación subrogada.”

“Being intended parents from Australia it was crucial for us to have an attorney who was an excellent communicator and we found that with the Slaughter Law Group. Lesa was friendly and efficient and nothing was too difficult for her. This was such a relief for us. We also felt our position was understood by Lesa as she herself had already been through the surrogacy process therefore we found her to be understanding and compassionate. Based on our experience I would definitely recommend The Slaughter Law Group if you are looking for amazing attorneys!”
