Biodiversity

Brazil establishes rules for accessing genetic resources and related traditional knowledge, as well as sharing benefits from economic use through Federal Law number 13,123/2015 (Biodiversity Act), Decree number 8,772/2016 and CGEN (Genetic Heritage Management Council) Regulations.

Our multidisciplinary team provides legal and technical assistance from the start of a biodiversity project and/or associated traditional knowledge by advising on how best to structure the project. We also advise on registering and standardizing access to genetic resources and associated traditional knowledge, while protecting any related intellectual creations.
