Vance & Whitley embraces change with a positive outlook. We examine, with our legal experience, the non-traditional issues such as same sex "stepparent" adoptions, same sex partnership agreements, gay and lesbian estate planning, embryo ownership and surrogacy now facing non-traditional families.
What is a family? Do gay and lesbian people have enforceable rights? Can trans gendered people work in a public environment without discrimination? And what of non-traditional religions? What recourse do people of diverse faiths have against employers who refuse to recognize their beliefs? What are the rights of a birth mother vs. the rights of the embryo's intended parents?
Thinking outside the legal box means examining the potential for great change and the legal consequences of those decisions.
