RLI Announces Excess Liability Binding Authority Partnership With Gridiron Insurance Underwriters

RLI Corp. (NYSE: RLI) – RLI announced today a partnership with Gridiron Insurance Underwriters to offer RLI’s excess liability binding authority insurance through Easy Excess, Gridiron’s dedicated online wholesale excess liability portal.

The Easy Excess platform allows appointed producers to quote, bind and issue excess liability policies designed for small commercial businesses in real time. Easy Excess liability coverage is available to 400 business classes and can be attached over General Liability, Liquor, Auto and Employers Liability. Policies will be underwritten by Mt.
