Flexible approach, local knowledge, and a global reach

We understand that businesses within life science face a rapidly evolving landscape with frequently changing regulatory requirements and a range of emerging risks.

We have an intense focus on client service and a real passion to challenge and explore every aspect of risk associated with your business. This gives you the assurance of having a program that is tailored to your unique requirements.

In a changing insurance market, as specialists, we challenge our clients with fresh thinking and work with them to develop quality risk profiles to present to underwriters for optimum outcomes.

Being the world’s largest privately-owned insurance broker, our clients benefit from the strong relationships Lockton has built with domestic and international providers.

Our own Global Healthcare Network, gives us powerful leverage within the marketplace to successfully deliver cost-effective, bespoke insurance programs for each client’s individual requirements; without jeopardising coverage.

A creative and expanding range of solutions

We understand that the life sciences industry is different and a customised program is crucial in protecting businesses involved in pharmaceutical, research and development, medical device manufacturing, and human clinical trials. When it comes to managing risk it’s the quality of our thinking and our proactive approach that makes us different.

We also recognise the executive risk challenges faced by boards across the spectrum of life sciences and pharmaceutical companies, particularly those listed on the ASX. Whether it be renewal of your D&O liability insurance, coverage for a forthcoming initial public offering or new capital raising, we will work closely with you to ensure your program reflects your own risk appetite at a competitive premium.

Lockton is a member of AusBiotech, the leading Australian industry body representing and advocating for organisations doing business in and with the global life sciences economy.
