Within the One Health framework, SPLaw’s Protecting Rights practice provides the legal architecture that allows innovation, biosafety, public health, and sustainability to progress in a coherent and integrated manner. The practice secures essential rights — intellectual property, sensitive health and environmental data, biodiversity governance, and environmental compliance — ensuring that scientific, technological, and production systems operate with traceability, ethical rigor, and regulatory consistency.

By articulating IP, privacy, biodiversity, environmental regulation, and workforce health through a unified legal logic, SPLaw equips organizations that research, produce, and deliver care to operate with confidence and accountability. It offers the structural legal foundation that enables advanced health, agribusiness, and environmental solutions, reduces exposure to systemic risks, and supports responsible innovation across the entire One Health value chain.

Our Practices

Intellectual Property

End-to-end support for the innovations that drive health. From prosecuting patents, trademarks, to working on FTOs, licensing, enforcement/litigation, and technology transfer between labs, CROs, startups, and industry. Health and life science-related IP? We’ve got your back, including sustainability-driven patents, eco-innovation protection, and IP strategies for low-carbon, bio-based technologies consistent with ESG frameworks.

Data Protection, Privacy, and Security

LGPD/HIPAA/GDPR-aligned programs that secure clinical, patient-support, HCP, and device-generated data. From RoPA/DPIA and notices/DPAs to playbooks and ANPD engagement, we protect the digital backbone of health ecosystems. It is not data protection. It is health data protection. You know the difference. So do we — and we extend this to responsible data use in environmental monitoring, health-environment interface analytics, and sustainable data governance.

Traditional Knowledge, Genetic Resources, and Bioengineering

Ethical access and benefit-sharing (Brazilian Biodiversity Law/Nagoya), SisGen strategy, and governance for synthetic biology and emerging bioengineering—bridging research and compliant market use. Bio prospecting done right under ESG principles of biodiversity conservation, traceability, and equitable benefit distribution.

Environmental, Natural Resources, and Public Health Law

ESG-grounded counseling for operations that touch biodiversity and sanitary regulation. We align environmental, biosafety, and public health standards without compromising core human health outcomes. Drawing on real-world environmental law and regulation experience to ensure conformity with environmental licensing, waste management, circular economy, and climate adaptation requirements.

Labor & Workforce

Biosafety and incident investigations, ESG-aligned policies, and sustainable workforce strategies for hospitals, manufacturers, and health-adjacent industries. Keeping the workplace legally healthy and environmentally responsible through occupational risk prevention, sustainability training, and compliance with green-labor standards.
