Current and Emerging Issues in Fertility Law

Faculty Agenda Download Brochure PDF

Increasingly, lawyers from a variety of practice areas are being asked for legal advice on fertility law issues.

From questions around criminal prohibitions, jurisdictional challenges, parentage claims, deductibility of expenses, questions of consent, non-traditional parenting arrangements, or special issues relating to the LGBT community, the legal issues in this rapidly developing area are both diverse and complex. With the constantly evolving legal landscape, counsel must ensure they are up-to-date and knowledgeable on the latest legal decisions, as well as legislative, jurisdictional and procedural changes.

Topics covered include:

• Health Canada update: a review of the reimbursement model and what changes can be expected
• Cross-country fertility law update: what are we seeing in different provinces?
• Funding and equality issues
• Hot issues in fertility law: from reciprocity to consent regulations and beyond
• LGBTQ challenges across the country
• Ethics and practice tips: what you need to know
• The future of fertility law: emerging issues

Plus! Don’t miss our Judge’s Panel from across Canada will share their insights and advice. This is always a lively discussion and one not to be missed!
