We also advise our clients on how and where to obtain the most appropriate clinical trials insurance covers in the various countries where they are performed. We publish a yearly Clinical Trial risk map helping clients conduct and monitor clinical trials worldwide as these trials represent an essential step in the process of regulatory approval and marketing and are critical to the long-term success of any life science company.
