Westfield Specialty is the third A-rated insurance carrier to support Counterpart’s expansion, alongside Aspen Insurance and Markel in the surplus lines.
The admitted management liability product is designed to cater to for-profit entities with less than $350m in revenue or 500 employees, covering 99% of US businesses, as well as more than one million 501(c) organisations.
It broadens Counterpart’s reach, allowing it to support customer growth and providing brokers with advanced tools such as application programming interfaces and risk mitigation services.
Counterpart’s decision to include non-profits in its offering comes in response to strong demand from broker partners.

The Counterpart and Westfield Specialty admitted product is currently available in 35 states.
Counterpart CEO Tanner Hackett said: “Westfield is one of the most recognised brands in insurance and has been an A-rated carrier for almost 90 years, making it an ideal partner to support us on our mission to help reduce risk for all businesses operating in all industries.
“This partnership combines Westfield’s renowned history and expertise with Counterpart’s leading software and services to set a new standard of excellence in commercial insurance.”
Westfield Specialty president Jack Kuhn said: “We are excited to join forces with Counterpart in the small business market. They have built an impressive underwriting platform and programme capabilities in a short period of time.
“We think insurance brokers will greatly appreciate the new product offerings as well as the innovation and efficiency Counterpart is bringing to the private company D&O [directors and officers] insurance marketplace.”
In March 2022, Counterpart secured $30m in Series B funding to grow its small business management liability insurance platform.
