Life Sciences

Life sciences companies have the opportunity to truly change the world, but success depends on how well certain emerging and traditional risks are managed. Marsh’s specialists can support your business objectives with risk strategies that promote resilience and competitiveness.

Life sciences companies face specific challenges throughout the discovery, development, and commercialisation processes, including exposure to a high degree of risk.

Increasingly stringent global regulations mean compliance must remain at the forefront of daily activities, and the penalty for violations goes beyond finances. Because life sciences companies' work largely involves human beings, trust and reputation management are critical aspects of their risk management plan.

Risk for life sciences companies comes from a number of angles. Whether it’s litigation regarding regulatory actions or intellectual property disputes, product liability claims, cyber theft, or supply chain disruptions, life sciences companies require a strong strategy for minimising risk as well as a solid plan for addressing situations that might arise.

Marsh’s experienced life sciences risk management team can help develop solutions relevant to your business and to your risks, whether you are in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical device and supply, or contract research sector.
