Chubb underwrites Employment Practices Liability (EPL) insurance as one of seven coverage parts within its ForeFront Portfolio, providing coverage aimed at private companies, not-for-profit organizations and healthcare organizations. ¹²Company-reported. ForeFront Portfolio EPL product sheet.

Chubb's EPL product sheet states that insurance is provided by Federal Insurance Company and its U.S.-based Chubb underwriting company affiliates. ¹²Company-reported. Product sheet insurer-disclosure footer; product and jurisdiction can still change which Chubb affiliate issues a given policy.

Amelia Risk lists EPL among the policies it places for startups, technology companies, CPG brands, and consumer-product companies. ^5,6,7,8Company-reported. Specialty pages' "policies to consider" lists, marketed segments rather than an underwriting appetite statement.

Amelia Risk recommends buying EPL once a company reaches roughly five to ten employees and is hiring more, and advises employers in California and New York to buy earlier in that range because those states are more litigious for employment claims. ⁴Company-reported.
