You make Life Science technology work for your customers. We make the insurance work for you.

At Britton-Gallagher, our NewScience Insurance Group was created to meet the specialized needs of medical device companies, orthopedic implant manufacturers, biotechnology firms and contract research organizations. Our NewScience Insurance Group has successfully met the insurance needs of this industry longer than any other insurance broker in the nation. During this time we have developed long-standing relationships with the leading Life Science and medical technology insurance carriers that allow us to provide customized cost effective solutions to your complex insurance needs.

We provide tailored insurance solutions to help protect all types of Life Science organizations ranging from start-ups to organizations conducting human clinical trials to large multi-national manufacturers.

We understand that medical device, orthopedic implant and biotechnology companies have insurance needs unlike any other industry because you inevitably face risks beyond the standard roster of conventional business risks. The level of expertise required of an insurance broker to keep up with this industry is evolving at an exponential rate. Working with the specialists in our NewScience Insurance Group ensures that your insurance program responds intelligently to your specific needs.

We have nearly 20 years of industry experience and sit on more insurance brokerage councils than most brokers in the country. These include industry leaders such as Chubb, Berkley and Medmarc. This experience from the "inside out" gives us a vast knowledge base of insurance products and services available to the medical device, orthopedic implant and biotechnology industries from the broadest possible network of suitable insurance carriers.

Whether you're a supplier or an OEM in the orthopedic implant industry, a biotechnology company or a medical device manufacturer, we know what you need and we can provide you with the broadest coverage for your specialty, with no liability gaps, at the lowest possible cost.

Because we've worked with a diverse, international client base, we understand that there is a completely new set of risks and regulations that need be considered when taking a medical device, orthopedic implant or biotechnological product into a new country.

Whether you are a U.S.-based company looking to take your product abroad or a foreign company bringing your product to the United States, we can help. Let us guide you through the process.

Based on a clear understanding of your business, we will educate, inform, help you clarify your risks, identify your coverage needs and guide the development of customized policies and risk management programs specific to your company's circumstances. We'll provide you with a risk analysis that includes:

• A review of your company's areas of potential exposure to risk
• An audit and review of your current insurance contracts
• An assessment of whether your existing coverage and risk management techniques adequately address your needs
• Special attention devoted to identifying any gaps in coverage that put your company at increased risk

Unlike some insurance brokerage firms who rely on a "Can I give you a quote?" approach, our NewScience Insurance experts will serve as true advisors to your company, whether you're a startup enterprise or a larger corporation. We will act as a member of your team and work with you to anticipate milestones, challenges and contract exposures before they become an issue. We've been here before and can help you develop a long-term strategic plan which ensures that all of your long-term risks and exposures are considered.

We realize that there are no cookie cutter insurance solutions, but our specialists in insuring life science companies can greatly simplify the process for you. We've earned a reputation for outstanding policy development and client service.
