Prior to founding the firm, Meg was the  Director of Legal Services at ConceiveAbilities, an international egg donation and surrogacy agency, where she coordinated the entire legal journey for all parties involved in a gestational surrogacy or egg donor arrangement. In this role, she worked with national industry leaders in assisted reproductive technology, as well as with doctors, intended parents, surrogates, egg donors, and other fertility lawyers.
