Management at Life Sciences companies face many potential liabilities in the course of executing their business plans.
Whether they are seeking funding from investors, contemplating mergers or joint ventures, working towards being awarded a
patent or trying to win approval for a drug, management will make decisions that are critical to the success of their company.
Perceived wrong decisions can result in personal liability for the directors or officers of such companies.
Management can and should seek financial protection that goes beyond what is available to them from their corporate balance sheet.
Marsh has developed a
comprehensive executive protection product in conjunction with an
industry-leading Directors and Officers Liability Insurance provider that can
protect the management of Life Sciences Companies from the liabilities which
arise during the normal course of business. The product is designed to provide
direct coverage for the Company when indemnification is available, as well as
coverage for the Individuals when corporate indemnification is unavailable.
Coverage is state of the art.
If you are a Life Sciences Company that is privately owned and has products in
the pre-clinical through phase II stages, you are eligible to take advantage of
preferred terms, conditions and pricing negotiated by Marsh.
Policy highlights include:
Multi-Year options (up to 2 years)
Difference in Conditions Coverage (matches all coverage provided by an incumbent
carrier)
Employment Practices Coverage
Non-rescindable coverage for the Individual Insureds
Automatic renewals for claims free policies
In order to provide you with the
best protection available in the market Marsh has chosen to partner with an
insurer that is highly rated and regarded as one of the top providers in the
Directors and Officers Insurance field.
