GF Global Advisory Board Member
Principal at
NGA Law, UK
Natalie is internationally recognised as the UK’s leading fertility lawyer and is widely respected for her gentle tenacity, a quality that has helped drive meaningful and lasting change within the UK legal system. After building her own donor-conceived family in 2001, Natalie became the first solicitor to pioneer fertility law in the UK, shaping a practice area that now supports families across the globe.
Her influence extends well beyond the courtroom. Natalie has been named in the Independent on Sunday’s Pink List as one of the UK’s 100 most influential gay people, recognised as The Times’ Lawyer of the Week, and nominated for Stonewall’s Hero of the Year Award for her tireless defence of same-sex parents. She is consistently ranked at the very top of her profession, listed by Legal 500 in their elite group of lawyers who are leaders in their field and ranked Band 1 by Chambers.
Natalie was also among the first international fellows admitted to the US-based Academy of Adoption and Assisted Reproduction Attorneys, reflecting her standing within the global family-building community. She currently serves as Chair of the UK and Ireland LGBT Family Law Institute and continues to play a pivotal role in advancing best practice and legal protections for modern families.
In addition to her wider advocacy and legal work, Natalie is a member of Growing Families’ Verification Criteria review committee, contributing her deep expertise to the ongoing review and strengthening of the standards we use to assess agencies and providers worldwide.
