In today's global economy, most companies either already operate internationally or seek to do so. New and emerging risks arise out of globalisation. Concurrently, insurance has become increasingly monitored and controlled by regulatory authorities. Marsh's Multinational Client Service (MCS) was formed to respond to the needs of organisations that operate globally and often need to meet the requirements of multiple governing bodies.

Multinational Client Service specialises in the design, negotiation, and placement of multinational risk programs as well as servicing our clients' global needs via dedicated teams located throughout Marsh's extensive global network, which serves as a critical asset in managing our clients' global risks.

By using Marsh's "Multinational Rules of the Road," a set of tools and protocols for servicing complex global programs, Marsh is able to help ensure that geographies worldwide are performing optimally for all our multinational clients.

In response to the needs of its multinational clients, Multinational Client Service created the Insurance Regulatory & Tax Consulting Practice (IRT). IRT is dedicated to providing multinational companies with support and information to help them evaluate regulatory and premium tax risks arising from their insurance and alternative risk-financing programs in all parts of the world.

Multinational Client Service is also committed to modernising and globalising insurance portfolios to meet the needs of the sophisticated global consumer, with products such as:

• standardised insurance contracts;
• automated global check-up evaluation;
• a regulation and taxation dashboard; and
• additional customised technology solutions.

• international property;

• international general liability;
