Background Checks For Legal Service Providers

As a attorney in the ART law arena you are often one of the first point of contacts for a client going through Third Party ART when it’s a private arrangement. You are most commonly tasked with the providing legal expertise and further guidance as they go through the process.

Often times a background check is a mandate from the parents’ IVF clinic, agency or by law in the state in which parental establishment will be determined. More often than not though, the parties do not even think to have a background check completed because it is not required thus it is not discussed or offered. It is however a great opportunity to further protect your client from entering into an agreement with potential negative consequences that will ultimately cause harm to our community and industry.

Whether they are an intended parent, gestational carrier, donor or recipient – should you consult with a client that is interested in obtaining background results then Smart ART is the company specifically designed for them. Of course, you can contact SMART ART directly and have us a complete these background checks per their desires. As a result, you will be accruing additional administrative fees for the additional work performed on their behalf and thus these costs should be passed onto the client.
