Posted on 4 September 2025

George Irving, family lawyer at Mishcon de Reya, was quoted in a recent article for Luxury London discussing the rise of surrogacy among ultra-wealthy families in the UK. In the article, George emphasised the importance of being properly informed before starting the surrogacy process. He said: 

"Those considering surrogacy need to ensure that they are properly informed before they embark on their journey. Take legal advice in the country where the surrogacy arrangement is taking place as well as in England and Wales.

George also highlighted key legal considerations, including parental orders, immigration and inheritance planning. He stressed that early and thorough legal advice is essential to ensure all arrangements are secure.
