Do You Take Comfort In Governance Agreements?

Have you ever asked yourself why you take comfort with governance agreements? They're created to "protect" you when your CRO fails - and even then, what can you realistically do? You've already invested a large amount with them, and getting out of the contract is going to cost you. What's worse, if you work for a developing and emerging pharma biotech, a big box CRO can make you feel like they're throwing their weight around when all you're trying to do is hold them accountable to what they agreed to do in the first place.
