About Anthony

Anthony Keen-Louie brings unmatched expertise, professionalism, and dedication to the inspiring and complex world of surrogacy. As a highly trained professional, Anthony holds a Master of Dispute Resolution (MDR) from USC Gould School of Law and has taught mediation as a faculty member at the same institution. His experience as a mediator, trainer, and Ombuds demonstrates his skill in acting as a trusted, neutral facilitator to resolve complex organizational and interpersonal disputes—a critical asset when navigating the delicate relationships between Intended Parents and Surrogates - as well as the agencies that facilitate the surrogacy process.

 

Anthony is also the proud parent of a son who was born through the surrogacy process and has been active in the surrogacy community through this journey. This includes serving as a presenter on conflict resolution in the surrogacy process at the SEEDS Ethics conference. The journey to parenthood took approximately 6 years, so Anthony brings an understanding of the complicated, emotional, and also joyous process that is surrogacy.

 

Anthony is dedicated to ensuring compassionate, respectful, and effective resolutions for all involved in the surrogacy journey. Through this process, Anthony helps parties to remain focused on the successful continuation of the journey and ultimate goal of the birth of a healthy baby - rather than on costly, disruptive litigation or ongoing conflict. Anthony is passionate about helping people find connections through challenges, ensuring every resolution is guided by empathy and professional best practices.
