Our Main Practice Areas:-

We provide expert guidance for all Life Science Bio Pharma insurance claims, whether they arise during manufacture, transit or storage. Whether drugs, medical devices or food products, we can assist you to get to the bottom of a claim submitted, identify the cause of loss, as well as determine the quantum of a claim.

Regardless whether wine spoilage is attributable to soil conditions, bottling or corking processes, or transport or storage related, we have extensive experience to identify the root cause of any damage sustained. Viticulture consists of the “art of wine making” – selecting the right location, knowing your soil composition, choosing the right vines for your area, caring for your vines before, during, and after the growth period, harvesting, fermentation, maturing, bottling and bringing the final product to the market. In particular for “boutique wineries”, any interruption in this process can fundamentally affect their business. Having an insurance claim properly and promptly investigated is thus vital.

From the manufacture of electronics, semi-conductors and electronics components to data and processor banks, we investigate the most complex electronics insurance claims – be it in relation to wafers, dicers, furnaces, scanners or other manufacturing equipment, standard or leadframes, flip chips, semi-conductors, processors, networking and communications equipment, medical devices such as robots (for knee or hip surgeries), or consumer electronics.

Life Science Bio Pharma Consultants, a division of Jurgen Schulze & Co LLC, provides comprehensive insurance claim investigation solutions tailored to the needs and requirements of Underwriters. We understand the complexities associated with both Life Science and Bio Pharmaceutical products, their development, manufacture, shipment, distribution and storage, in particular in the context of temperature-controlled environments. Our practice areas extend to medical devices as well as food products.

The transport and handling of pharmaceuticals generally are fundamentally different from so-called “general cargoes”. Starting with the controlled environment required for the drug manufacture, the complex validation process for raw material and equipment providers, the validation and qualification procedures for product packaging, transport packaging and transport itself, strict observance of product temperature requirements, controlled temperature maintenance, development of allowed deviation parameters, and full compliance with all SOPs, cGMP, cGDP and FDA regulations- all of this requires considerable industry knowledge and familiarity with pharma processes generally.

Often, detailed research with reference to other disciplines is required to get to the root of a claim, and cause as well as quantum determinations are frequently both complex and intriguing. Would you have thought that you could spoil the vial contents stored in an entire warehouse by upgrading the ceiling lights to LED lights or that, to prevent such vial damage, you would have to increase the light-absorption (or “tinting”) characteristics of the vials?

By partnering with us, you gain access to our experienced investigators who can guide you through the critical claim investigation process and provide you with a purely fact-based and unbiased final report to allow a coverage determination.
