Surrogacy arrangements in Georgia involve substantial financial transactions, often exceeding tens of thousands of dollars, which unfortunately creates fertile ground for commercial disputes between Intended Parents and Surrogacy Agencies. At Legal Sandbox Georgia, we specialize in representing parties in arbitration proceedings, which is the primary dispute resolution mechanism mandated by most competent surrogacy contracts in Tbilisi. When an agency fails to deliver promised medical services after accepting payment, or conversely, when Intended Parents default on milestone payments, standard litigation in public courts is often too slow and lacks the necessary confidentiality. We utilize the Law of Georgia on Arbitration to initiate private, expedited proceedings that protect sensitive family data while securing a binding legal decision. Our role is to enforce the specific performance of contractual obligations or, alternatively, to secure the restitution of funds for services not rendered.
Our practice deeply analyzes the financial structure of the dispute, focusing on "unjust enrichment" and breach of material terms under the Civil Code of Georgia. For Intended Parents, we aggressively pursue claims where agencies have delayed matching processes indefinitely, misappropriated deposits, or added hidden fees that violate the initial agreement. We scrutinize the contract's force majeure and refund clauses to dismantle the agency’s defense, proving that their failure to perform constitutes a material breach entitling you to a refund and damages. In cases where the agency has ceased communication or operation, we move quickly to secure assets through interim arbitration measures.
For agencies facing non-payment from Intended Parents, we enforce the payment schedules agreed upon in the Master Agreement. If parents withhold payments due to subjective dissatisfaction or personal financial changes, we demonstrate that the agency has fulfilled its contractual milestones—such as the creation of embryos or the confirmation of pregnancy—thereby triggering the payment obligation. We are adept at navigating the specific procedural rules of Georgian arbitration institutions, ensuring that the final arbitration award is not only favorable but also recognized and enforceable by the Georgian courts for immediate execution. Whether you are fighting for a refund or collecting a debt, our arbitration strategy is focused on financial recovery and strict contractual compliance.
