Surrogacy Lawyers

What Surrogacy Lawyers does

Surrogacy Lawyers Ltd is a UK-regulated, single-practitioner law firm (SRA 597065) operating on a digital-first basis under the direction of Mrs Harjit Sarang. The firm provides bespoke legal advice and representation across surrogacy, parental orders, donor conception, co-parenting, and related fertility-law matters, serving intended parents pursuing both UK domestic altruistic surrogacy and international surrogacy arrangements in jurisdictions including the USA, Canada, Georgia, Greece, Nigeria, Colombia, Mexico, Cyprus, India, Argentina, Ghana, and Ukraine. The practice is anchored in the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 2008 and covers the full lifecycle from pre-conception advice and surrogacy agreement review through to parental order applications, CAFCASS liaison, court representation, and post-birth British citizenship and passport applications.

The firm's product set is organised around fixed-fee parental order packages starting at £500 plus VAT, hourly billing for complex matters with minimum six-minute units, and a pro-bono programme for uncomplicated UK cases and matters of public interest. There is no physical client-facing office; all consultations occur virtually via Microsoft Teams, Zoom, or Skype, and document exchange is handled through client-controlled Google Drive or Dropbox folders. The registered address (c/o Gary Cansick & Co, Hertford) serves only for service of formal legal notices.

The go-to-market model is primarily referral- and reputation-led, supported by an extensive testimonials page, country-specific destination guidance published on the firm website, and organic presence across Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and YouTube. The firm explicitly operates independently of any surrogacy agency, clinic, or charity, and carries professional indemnity insurance of £3,000,000. Revenue mechanics rest on professional services fees for individual matters, with no subscription, licensing, or volume-based pricing; the practice carries no employees beyond the sole director.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Emerging players

• Cotswold Fertility Partners (Legal Partners) / Sephton & Co: Smaller UK family and fertility law practice offering surrogacy and donor conception advice. Comparable niche offerings and target client base, though at a smaller scale than Surrogacy Lawyers.
• Brilliant Beginnings: UK-based not-for-profit surrogacy organization providing advice and matching services. Adjacent rather than directly competing on legal services, but operates in the same intended-parent decision journey and can be a referral counterpart or competitor for surrogacy advisory.

Broad incumbents

• Dawson Cornwell: London family law firm with experience in surrogacy, international child abduction, and parental orders. Comparable expertise on the legal parent status and Parental Order process, though operates as a broader family/children law practice.
• Hempsons: UK law firm with a well-regarded fertility, surrogacy, and family law team advising clinics, agencies, and intended parents. Overlaps on international surrogacy advisory but serves a broader client base including healthcare providers.
• Russell-Cooke Solicitors: London full-service law firm with a family law team that includes surrogacy, donor conception, and parental order advisory. Comparable on the legal subject matter but offered alongside broader private client and family services.
• Michelmores LLP: UK regional law firm with a dedicated Fertility & Surrogacy team advising on UK and international surrogacy arrangements. Comparable on the surrogacy/donor conception offering but operates as part of a much broader full-service practice.
• Kingsley Napley: London law firm with a family and children law team that handles surrogacy and fertility law matters, particularly for high-net-worth and international clients. Comparable on the international surrogacy/Parental Order work, though as part of a multi-disciplinary practice.
• Goodman Ray Solicitors: London-based specialist family and children law firm dealing with surrogacy, parental orders, and international family matters. Overlaps on the core Parental Order and donor conception practice but with a wider family law footprint.

Direct peers

• Natalie Gamble Associates: One of the most prominent UK specialist surrogacy and fertility law firms, advising on UK and international surrogacy, Parental Orders, and donor conception. Directly comparable niche focus, SRA-regulated practice, and similar fixed-fee offerings to Surrogacy Lawyers.
• International Fertility Law Group (IFLG): US-headquartered but internationally focused law firm dedicated to assisted reproduction law, including international surrogacy and parental order equivalent proceedings. Comparable niche specialization and cross-border client base to Surrogacy Lawyers.
