Markel built its reputation on specialty risks and miscellaneous professional liability. It writes both admitted and surplus-lines paper, which lets it say yes to consultants, counselors, and emerging professions that standard markets struggle to classify.

What they write

• Miscellaneous professional liability (E&O)
• E&O for consultants, coaches, and counselors
• Allied health professional liability
• Specialty program business

A good fit for

Hard-to-classify professions and niche consultancies that need a carrier comfortable with unusual exposures.
