Meet our Life Sciences Industry Practice Leader
A fast-growing pharmaceutical company needed a partner who understands the complex risks involved in running clinical trials in different countries. Through WORLDcert™, our state-of-the-art interactive clinical trial insurance and certificate management system, we were able to build an integrated solution to meet their needs and render it easier to secure insurance certificates for various sites in the different countries.
This manufacturer makes a complex product, so they wanted coverage that included product recall insurance with products and completed operations, general and property liability, and sophisticated risk engineering services to address their property exposures. We paired a range of insurance products with risk mitigation services to address all their needs.
Top of this client’s concerns were data privacy and security, and they wanted a partner who really understands the nature of cyber risk. We put together coverage that included the ability to conduct cyber risk assessments and provide online cyber education for their staff. In addition, they required healthcare coverage, products liability and Errors & Omissions (E&O) coverage.

Our package policies include contingent business income coverage that indemnifies your company in the event of a loss from a covered peril to property of third party suppliers that disrupts the supply chain. We will help you to evaluate your contingent business interruption limits needs carefully by providing a basic business income calculator. For larger, more complex organizations we can assign you a business income consultant to determine what you need.
Perishable property is often the most critical asset of a life sciences company, so we understand that any malfunction or loss of power to refrigerators or freezers, or any introduction of contaminants, can be devastating. Our property policy includes all-risk ‘change in controlled environment’ insurance for spoilage of perishable property at owned locations, and in transit. It also covers contamination from bacteria, mold, mildew, viruses, microorganisms, pathogens, radiation, or airborne microbes.
In addition, we take a proactive approach to risks of spoilage and contamination, helping clients develop loss control recommendations.
We can review clients' third party contracts from a risk management perspective to help the clients and their attorneys identify potential liability risks that may be presented. We can work with clients' insurance agents and brokers to help ensure they appreciate these risks as they advise their clients on applicable insurance solutions.
