For families navigating surrogacy and egg, sperm, and embryo donation, the legal process can feel overwhelming. Rachel Loftspring makes it feel manageable.

A Partner at The Family Law & Fertility Law Group, Rachel practices Fertility Law exclusively in Ohio, Illinois, and Kentucky. She is known for her deep expertise in surrogacy and third-party collaborative reproduction, and for the accessibility, responsiveness, and care she brings to every client relationship.

Her practice covers the full range of assisted reproduction: surrogacy agreements, egg, sperm, and embryo donation, parentage orders, and step-parent (confirmatory) adoptions. She advises intended parents and gestational carriers, genetic and non-genetic parents, recipients and donors, and clients of all sexual orientations, marital statuses, and gender identities across the United States and around the world.

Rachel is an ART Fellow at the Academy of Adoption and Assisted Reproduction Attorneys, a membership requiring significant experience in assisted reproduction law and acceptance through a rigorous, peer-vetted application process. She is recognized as an Ohio Super Lawyer, serves on the American Bar Association’s ART Committee, and is a member of the American Society of Reproductive Medicine.

Rachel brings the highest ethical standards and genuine compassion to every family she counsels. She takes the time to walk clients through the full arc of the legal process so they know what to expect at every step, and she remains accessible and responsive from the first conversation through delivery.

Before focusing her practice on Fertility Law, Rachel practiced litigation at Jenner & Block in Chicago and served as in-house counsel for a national retail company, experiences that continue to inform how she approaches the complex negotiations and contracts at the heart of every fertility law matter.

Beyond her practice, Rachel has been a driving force in bringing fertility-related resources to Cincinnati. She established the Cincinnati office of the Jewish Fertility Foundation and went on to serve as Chair of its national Board of Directors. For that work, she received the Lay Leadership Award from the Network of Jewish Human Service Agencies and the Allen A. Cowett Young Leadership Award from the Jewish Federation of Cincinnati.

Rachel is the author of Mila the Maker and the 200-Piece Jigsaw Puzzle, a children’s book about perseverance and working through big emotions. Before law school, she earned a professional chef degree in Buenos Aires, Argentina. She is a dedicated student of Ashtanga yoga and lives in Cincinnati, Ohio with her family.
