“I know Louisa Ghevaert as a leading figure in the legal profession helping individuals and families affected by fertility problems. She has a wealth of experience and knowledge in this area. Ms Ghevaert wrote the section on ‘Legal and regulatory risk for patients’ in ‘Reducing risk in fertility treatment’ published by Springer, which I edited. I was impressed by her depth and breadth of knowledge and her ability to relate to the needs of patients who find themselves having to deal with difficult legal conundrums arising from the complex law around aspects of fertility treatment. This includes matters such as surrogacy, legal parenthood, donor gametes and treatment overseas”.

Dr Raj Mathur, Consultant Gynaecologist and Subspecialist in Reproductive Medicine and Surgery, Manchester Fertility Clinic

“Undergoing fertility treatment is not all about medicine. There are ethical problems and significant legal problems. Whenever I have any legal issues that need to be addressed Louisa is a fantastic resource. Not only is she extremely knowledgeable but very approachable and provides a very swift response to any particular questions”.

Mr Michael Dooley, Consultant Gynaecologist and Fellow of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists

“Louisa Ghevaert is an excellent fertility lawyer. I have had the pleasure of working with her to help mutual international clients. Surrogacy is the most complex way to make a baby and international surrogacy is the most complex form of surrogacy. It is important to have a lawyer who is across the complexity that is surrogacy law, as well as someone who cares for their clients. Louisa is both!”

Stephen Page, a leading Australian Family & Fertility Lawyer

“Congratulations on the expert help you provided your client. While money is not a replacement, at least now she’ll be able to afford the surrogacy process. I love knowing that you’re over in the UK changing the laws, and people’s perceptions about what we do. Your client chose her attorney wisely”.
