Fertility & Surrogacy Legal Group, APC, also known as FSLG, is a reproductive-law firm based in San Diego, California. It is not a surrogate-matching agency: rather than recruiting or matching gestational carriers, it provides the legal work that surrounds a surrogacy or donor journey, including drafting and negotiating contracts and obtaining parentage judgments and pre-birth orders. Intended parents working with a matching agency or fertility clinic typically retain a firm like this one separately, and surrogates and egg donors generally have their own independent counsel.
According to the firm, its practice is devoted entirely to assisted reproductive technology and surrogacy law, and it represents both people building families and the egg donors and surrogates who help them. The firm says it was established in 2012 and was formerly named Indie Law Group APC. It is a for-profit professional corporation with a small team of attorneys, paralegals and case managers.
FSLG works with intended parents who are LGBTQ+, single, or living outside the United States, in addition to couples pursuing surrogacy or donor conception domestically. Alongside its legal services, the firm operates a separate trust and escrow service in-house, which holds and disburses funds such as surrogate compensation and reimbursements over the course of a match.
Several intended parents describe the firm's responsiveness and its handling of the contract and post-birth paperwork stages, including documentation needed by families based abroad.

Hi Martha, Many thanks for being available so early today. When we encountered difficulties with the online signing (wrong link for web conference line ), you answered my call for help immediately, reached out to the lawyer right away, coordinated the technical issues without delay, and even helped deliver the scanned documents to the lawyer in the end. Everything was so timely and professional. You truly lit up my day. Thank you again and have a great day.

View on Google (opens in a new tab)F&SLG was very helpful from start to finish. I wouldn’t have been able to navigate through all the legal stuff of surrogacy without them. Our surrogacy journey was a bit different than the normal surrogacy, since our surrogate is my niece, I didn’t have to hire an agency to help out. I did everything on my own from getting a broker for the health insurance to hiring the law firm. It was an overwhelming task, but F&SLG explained to me the whole process and even gave me an idea how much it will cost legal wise if I proceed with the plan. I highly recommend using this law firm.
