My name is Jaime Gher. I am a passionate attorney, competitive athlete, and mother of three. I have devoted my career to advocating for the sexual and reproductive rights for all people.

​

Over the course of two decades, I have practiced labor and employment law, international human rights law, and reproductive rights and fertility law. I am dedicated to supporting all individuals and couples to create and protect their families. I provide legal counselling and representation around accessing fertility treatment, family formation and legal recognition. I also provide counselling and coaching for those exploring and undertaking fertility treatment, to ensure they understand the process and their legal rights and responsibilities. I always put my clients first, providing compassionate representation and support.

​

I have a Bachelor of Arts from the University of California Santa Barbara (highest honors), a Juris Doctorate from the University of San Francisco (cum laude), and a Master of Laws from

American University, Washington College of Law. 

​

I am a Board Member of Women Enabled International and a former Board Member of the National LGBTQ Bar Association and the AIDS Legal Referral Panel.​​​​
