Surrogacy arises when a woman (surrogate) carries a child on behalf of a couple (commissioning parents) with the intention of the couple becoming the child’s  parents when the child is born.

Surrogacy applications are legal in South Africa however they are legally complex and it is crucial to understand the implications and the required legal steps to take in order to enforce a surrogacy agreement.

We have successfully obtained surrogacy orders on behalf of our clients and have guided them through the process with our expertise in this area of law.
