Working with Shepherd
We received the initial submission from the broker for this contractor’s upcoming practice program renewal with a request to quote within 1 week. Shepherd provided an initial indication within 7 hours and finalized our quote within 2 days, allowing the team to move onto follow-form excess layers.

Why We Won
Speed-to-indication, transparency of process, and responsiveness throughout the underwriting process allowed us to work efficiently with this broker partner. Shepherd met target pricing and terms and built trust with the account team. This contractor ultimately became Shepherd’s first bound account!
