Donor sperm can be used to conceive in various ways, including at a UK fertility clinic, by private arrangement or at a fertility clinic overseas.
The law is complex and can apply differently depending upon your relationship status (whether you are single, married or in a civil partnership at the point of conception), how you conceive (artificial inception or sexual intercourse), where you conceive (at a clinic or at home), and who is named on the child’s birth certificate.
We can provide expert tailored legal advice to help you navigate the different issues relating to sperm donation and fertility law in the UK and its international application. No matter how complicated your personal situation – whether you are facing a change of circumstances, a new relationship or relationship breakdown – we are experts at finding solutions. We can also prepare a ‘family proof’ will following donor conception.
