Access, priority, and specialist expertise — for agencies who take German cases as regular pipeline, not one-off engagements.
For agencies with three to ten German cases per year, or a growing German-facing intake process.
You choose based on the pipeline you are running.
Best for a specific prospective client you are screening right now. Pathway analysis, case review, Decision Tree walkthrough, written follow-up memo. Fee credits any later engagement.
Ongoing counsel access, three tiers. Best for agencies taking German cases regularly — a working relationship and named counsel instead of case-by-case improvisation. Founding-cohort pricing through the end of this month.
The two paths are not mutually exclusive. A subscription gives your team a working relationship and named counsel on a rhythm; the FACT-Finder Consultation gives a specific prospective client a scoped, written analysis. Substantive case work always routes through a FACT-Finder or a full representation engagement, at the discounted rate your subscription tier provides.
You have a good relationship with your German intended parents. You handle the medical, the surrogate, the contract, the coordination — all of it, well. And every so often, a case surfaces something on the German-legal side: a recognition question, a Standesamt quirk, a client asking whether their configuration is defensible. You need a real answer, from someone who actually knows the doctrine and is currently practicing it.
The alternatives most agencies use are structurally wrong for the problem. Google is unreliable and dated. Sending a client to a random German family-law attorney costs the client three weeks and produces an analysis you cannot verify. Waiting until you have a full case to engage counsel means the German-side work is bolted on after the fact — which is when it fails.
What you actually need is a working relationship with German counsel — access on a rhythm, priority when things are time-sensitive, and specialist expertise in the doctrine that governs your cases. That is what this subscription is.
Priced against attorney-time value. Sized to your pipeline volume.
For agencies with light German pipeline — one to two German cases per year, or agencies opening the German market.
For agencies with active German pipeline — three to ten German cases per year, or a growing German-facing intake process.
For high-volume agencies — ten or more German cases per year, agencies for whom Germany is a strategic pipeline segment.
Access, education, and pipeline routing — separate from substantive case work.
These items require their own scope. That's what the FACT-Finder Consultation and full representation engagements are for — and your subscription includes discounted rates on both. This structural separation isn't restriction; it's the reason substantive case work gets the attention and rigor it needs when your client's child's parentage is on the line.
Agencies with an active German pipeline who currently route German-legal questions through a mix of ad-hoc referrals and Google. Subscription gives your team a single named counsel, consistent doctrine, and a client-facing designation that shows prospective German intended parents you have the German-legal side handled.
Fertility clinics whose patients travel abroad for surrogacy and return to Germany needing recognition. Subscription gives your intake team the framework and template access to counsel patients on the German-legal implications before they commit to a program — and the referral pathway when they need substantive representation.
Agencies planning to open German intake and wanting the legal-side infrastructure in place before the first German prospect walks in. Subscription gives you the templates, the doctrine access, and the named-counsel positioning to start with defensible German-legal infrastructure from day one instead of learning on live cases.
Payment processes immediately. Your subscription is active as of the transaction. A welcome email lands in your inbox with your subscription confirmation and toolkit access.
Direct booking link with tier-specific slot availability. Book within the first two weeks; come with one specific German case (real or hypothetical) to walk through the Decision Tree in real time.
Portal access to the current quarterly BGH doctrine briefing, the full component template library, and the redirect scripts for handling client-side questions inside your intake process.
Screening calls on your tier's cadence, email exchanges within your response window, quarterly briefings as doctrine evolves. Substantive case work routes through the FACT-Finder Consultation at your subscription-discounted rate.
