Modern Families
Our modern families team is uniquely qualified to advise and assist in relation to modern families. Our members are the leading experts and advocates in this area of law, especially in the recognition of foreign same-sex relationships, protecting the family and parental rights of children of modern families, and in relation to fertility law.
Our members invented the use of guardianship to extend parental rights to same-sex spouses [e.g. AA v. BB [2021] 2 HKLRD 1225], adoption orders for same-sex partners [e.g. Re M [2021] 4 HKLRD 476], foster to adopt [e.g. Re G [2018] 4 HKC 518 and on appeal in [2020] HKCA 307], and have pioneered recognition of same-sex marriages [e.g. Leung Chun Kwong v. Secretary for the Civil Service and Anor [2019] 22 HKCFAR 282]. They are willing and available to advise in relation to surrogacy and other fertility issues.
