About Flowerday Fertility Law

Flowerday Fertility Law is a Toronto firm that focuses exclusively on Canadian third party reproduction law. Founded in 2010 by Michelle Flowerday, the firm drafts and negotiates surrogacy agreements and ova, sperm, and embryo donation agreements, and helps intended parents establish legal parentage after a child is born. It also handles family building matters for 2SLGBTQIA+ clients, including the multi-parent recognition that some provinces, including Ontario, allow through a pre-conception agreement.

The firm's founder earned a BA with honours in psychology from McGill University and an LL.B. from Osgoode Hall Law School, and was called to the Ontario bar in 2002. Before starting the firm, Michelle Flowerday was an associate at McCarthy Tétrault LLP and a partner at Dickson MacGregor Appell LLP, at the time Canada's largest all-women law firm. In 2025 the firm launched Plaid Fertility Law, a web application for creating and managing fertility agreements that has been accepted into the Law Society of Ontario's Access to Innovation program.
