Rich became the parent of twin boys by means of egg donation and surrogacy and knows firsthand the joy that assisted reproduction technology (“ART”) can bring to couples who want to start a family. It was from a desire to help other families like his all over the world that he founded International Fertility Law Group.
Rich became fascinated with ART law when he and spouse, Tommy Woelfel, were going through the surrogacy process that resulted in the birth of twin sons. Rich, who had 15 years of experience in business and technology law, decided to make helping other families his life’s work.
Rich brings to the firm his extensive experience in corporate and technology law combined with his own personal experience as a father via ART and years of helping hundreds of families from a wide range of circumstances. Because he has experienced it in his own life, Rich understands the importance of informing and guiding intended parents through the process, every step of the way. Today, he is among the world’s best known experts in the fields of assisted reproductive technology law and family formation law.
In addition, Rich has built an extensive network of attorneys who are expert in assisted reproductive technology law in every U.S. state and in nearly every nation of the world. Their personal empathy with intended parents, extensive backgrounds in ART law, and access to legal expertise the world over have made International Fertility Law Group a leader in the field of assisted reproductive technology law.
