Carrier Partner
Markel
A specialty carrier known for hard-to-place risks, professional liability, and niche industry programs.
About Markel
Markel is a specialty insurer widely recognized as a leader in the excess and surplus (E&S) market. The company writes classes and exposures that standard carriers decline — from equine operations and youth camps to social service nonprofits and specialty contractors.
Markel's underwriting culture is famously disciplined, and the company holds an A (Excellent) rating from AM Best. For hard-to-place accounts, Markel is often the difference between placement and non-renewal.
