Shepherd expands insurance portfolio

Shepherd, an insurance startup focused on the construction space, has expanded its insurance offerings to include admitted excess products written on AM Best “A” rated paper.

These new excess options are designed to support Shepherd’s admitted primary lines — General Liability, Commercial Auto, and Workers’ Compensation — by providing complementary lead excess support. Currently available in most US states, Shepherd anticipates nationwide availability by year’s end.

Shepherd currently offers both supported and unsupported excess liability for contractor practice programs and project-specific placements, including OCIPs, CCIPs, and JVs.
