Legal support across the family-building journey

Why work with me

Building a family through fertility treatment, surrogacy, donation or adoption is deeply personal, and the law doesn’t always make it simple. I help individuals, couples, clinics, donors and surrogates understand where they stand and put the right protections in place, before problems have a chance to start.

Surrogacy Agreements

Clear, fair agreements that protect intended parents and surrogates alike

Surrogacy involves trust, health, money and a child’s future, so the agreement needs to be written with care. I draft and review gestational carrier agreements that set out everyone’s rights, responsibilities and expectations before the process begins.

How I can help:
  • Drafting and reviewing agreements for intended parents and surrogates
  • Clear terms on consent, compensation, medical decisions and communication
  • Advice on what happens if circumstances change

IVF Legal Advice

Understand your legal position at every stage of fertility treatment.

IVF comes with consent forms, storage agreements and decisions that most clinics don’t fully explain. I help you read what you are being asked to sign and understand what it means for you.

How I can help:

  • Reviewing clinic consent and embryo storage forms
  • Advice on embryo ownership and decisions about unused embryos
  • Guidance for couples and individuals before starting treatment

Egg, Sperm and Embryo Donation

Contracts that make donor rights and intentions clear before treatment begins.

Donation works best when everyone knows where they stand from the start. I prepare and review donation agreements for donors, recipients and intended parents.

How I can help:

  • Agreements covering consent, anonymity, parental rights and future contact
  • Independent advice for donors, so they understand what they are agreeing to
  • Advice for recipients and intended parents using donor material

Adoption

Guidance through Child's Rights Act adoption pathways, state by state.

Adoption procedures in Nigeria depend on the state and the court involved. I explain the pathway that applies to you and guide you through each step.

How I can help:

  • Explaining eligibility and process in your state
  • Preparing documents and court applications
  • Supporting families through each stage until the order is made

Fertility Preservation

Legal guidance for egg and sperm freezing, including for cancer patients and posthumous reproduction.

Freezing eggs or sperm is a medical decision with legal consequences. I help you set out clearly what should happen to your stored material, now and in the future.

How I can help:

  • Reviewing storage and consent agreements with clinics and cryobanks
  • Planning for patients facing cancer treatment
  • Advice on recording your wishes about use of stored material after death

International and Diaspora Surrogacy

Cross-border arrangements, citizenship questions, and support for Nigerians abroad building a family at home.

Many of my clients live abroad and want to build their families in Nigeria, and some families travel here from overseas. Cross-border arrangements raise extra questions about contracts, parentage, travel and citizenship. I help you understand them before you commit.

How I can help:

  • Advice on agreements that involve more than one country
  • Guidance on citizenship and travel document questions for the child
  • Working with your legal team abroad where needed

Reproductive Rights Advocacy

Protecting your rights throughout your fertility journey.

Everyone deserves to make decisions about their reproductive health with dignity. I advise and speak up for people whose rights have been overlooked, and I stand firmly against exploitation in the fertility industry.

How I can help:

  • Advice if a clinic, agency or other party has not respected your rights
  • Support for surrogates and donors facing unfair terms or pressure
  • Legal education on assisted reproduction for individuals and organisations
