Doulas Are Essential Workers
Doulas are an essential part of the care team for any birthing person who wants the healthiest, happiest outcome for their baby and their self.
Along with an increased recognition of doulas as birth professionals comes increased legal risks for doulas. We represent doulas in lawsuits in which doulas are named defendants, lawsuits in which doulas are important witnesses, and in negotiations with hospitals and insurers.
We also counsel doulas on how they can protect their clients’ legal and human rights in all birth settings, while working within their job description and remaining safe themselves.
If you are a doula seeking legal counsel or representation for any purpose associated with your work, contact us. We can help.
