Welcome to The Law Office of barbara findlay, Q.C.
You have come to the right place for advice and help creating your family through assisted human reproduction. I do fertility contracts: donor insemination agreements, surrogacy agreements, embryo donation agreements, egg donation agreements, and declarations of parentage.
I also do agreements for folks in poly relationships - agreements among folk about living together, and what happens if some or all of the relationships end, or agreements among three or more folk who want to raise a child together.
I have been a queer feminist lawyer, committed to making the law work for all of us, for more than four decades. For me, this has meant everything from cohabitation and separation agreements, to ground breaking equality rights cases, to same sex immigration, to wills and representation agreements. However I am now restricting my practice to family agreements.
Because knowledge is power, on this website you'll find news about legal developments affecting gay, lesbians, bisexual and transgender people and the Out/Law series of legal information pamphlets available for download.

Tips and NewsManitoba M/F birth certificates are discriminatory November 4, 2019 T.A., a nonbinary trans person, successfully challenged the practice of the Manitoba Vital Statistics Agency to issue limit gender markers on birth certificates to M or F. The tribunal ruled that the Agency is required to revise its criteria for changing the sex disignation on birth certificates so that it includes recognition of non binary sex designations. The Agency can do that either by adding an 'x' option or by issuing birth certificates without gender markers. The Agency also has to publish the new criteria, and assist in pulibicizing and informing the relevant health providers for trans and non-binary individuals in MB of the changes. Finally, the tribunal awarded $50,000 to T.A. Of 13 Canadian jurisdictions, seven offer M/F only; five provide for a third option, and of those three offer a birth certificate printed without a gender marker.
