Starting a family covers the legal steps around creating a parent–child relationship, from fertility, surrogacy and assisted conception to birth, parenthood and placement for adoption. A solicitor in this area advises on permissions, parental rights and responsibilities, and the formal processes that establish or change parentage, including applications to courts and editors for orders. They also guide on the practical consequences for families across living arrangements, safeguarding and future upbringing.
The key issues in this work involve decisions that create or alter a child’s legal status, such as parental orders, parental responsibilities and the formal steps to adoption. These matters are time-sensitive and enforceable, with potential long-term effects on guardianship, welfare and the child’s future. A solicitor provides guidance on relevant acts, court timings and any protective or regulatory considerations, including regulatory oversight of surrogacy arrangements and parental rights validation.

Tagged solicitors Agata Napora and Paul Reay
I had a consultation with McAlister Family Law when I was engaged with another reputable law firm after the situation escalated significantly. During the initial consultation, Agata Napora and Paul Reay came up with a list of things that have to be done immediately in order to prevent the worst outcome. The complicated law matters were explained clearly from the beginning, even though I did not know the process. Paul was really honest, confident and proactive, which made me feel like I was the winner of the case already. Paul and Agata took the time to answer all my questions and made the whole process stress-free. In just a week, we got the maximum result that I could only have wished for a week ago.
