Verdict Risk Alliance
Rainshade Specialty Brokerage

Program Thinking. Individual Placement.

Not every risk fits a program structure. But every risk deserves a disciplined, severity-focused approach to underwriting and placement. Rainshade Specialty Brokerage provides individually tailored excess and umbrella solutions for commercial real estate, habitational, and hospitality risks that require bespoke underwriting, specialized structures, or placement strategies outside standard program parameters. Umbrella and excess limits are available starting at $5 million, up to $100 million through our carrier network, in lead or excess layers, supported or unsupported, on admitted or non-admitted paper. Primary general liability is available when written with the umbrella or excess.

“Traditional brokerage prioritizes market access. Rainshade Specialty Brokerage adds underwriting discipline and a severity-focused framework — the placement experience of a program, without the eligibility constraints.”

What That Means in Practice

The Primary Distinction

Who It’s For

Risks That Benefit from Specialty Brokerage
