HUB International vs Newfront Employment Practices Liability Insurance

HUB brokers employment practices liability insurance as one of the Executive Liability coverages inside its ProEx Professional & Executive Risk practice, rather than underwriting it. ⁴Company-reported. ProEx page coverage list, read 2026-09-23. The page does not name an issuing insurer for EPL.

Newfront's Executive Risk practice brokers EPLI coverage, negotiating placement for management-liability lines. Deirdre Finn, the Executive Risk Solutions Practice Leader, oversees the D&O, employment-practices and fiduciary book of business. ⁹Company-reported. Executive Risk offering page and Leadership section.

No insurer is named for EPL on the ProEx page; HUB says ProEx places over $2 billion in premium with carriers it calls top-rated, without naming them. ⁴Not found in reviewed sources. Checked the ProEx page on 2026-09-23.

The reviewed Executive Risk page does not name the insurer or insurers that would issue an EPLI policy placed through Newfront. ⁹Not publicly disclosed. Executive Risk page as read on 2026-09-23; carrier depends on the specific placement.

The ProEx page does not publish a size, industry or state eligibility list specific to EPL; its FAQ discusses D&O, EPL, fiduciary and E&O interplay in the context of "large organizations" without defining a minimum size. ⁴Not found in reviewed sources. Checked the ProEx page on 2026-09-23; EPL is listed as one coverage among many without its own eligibility criteria.

Newfront says it services private companies from seed round through every series of funding and has worked with over 500 publicly traded companies, without an EPLI-specific eligibility threshold. ⁹Company-reported. Here for the Long Run section; figures describe the executive-risk practice broadly, not EPLI specifically.

HUB flags pay-transparency laws taking effect in 2026 as a development relevant to EPL coverage, in an article title on the ProEx page, but the page does not describe EPL insuring agreements, exclusions or endorsements in its own text. ⁴Company-reported. ProEx page article listing; the article itself was not opened, so its content beyond the title is not part of this claim.

Newfront lists Employment Practices Liability Insurance (EPLI) among its Executive Risk Key Coverages, and describes its management-liability work as "shielding D&Os from wrongful discrimination, termination, and other employment-related issues." ⁹Company-reported. Key Coverages list and Committed to Client Advocacy section; the quoted language frames EPLI around protecting leadership rather than describing named insuring agreements.

Published EPL policy limits or retentions were not found on the ProEx page. ⁴Not publicly disclosed. Checked the ProEx page on 2026-09-23; limits are set on the quote and declarations.

The reviewed Executive Risk page does not publish EPLI limits or retentions. ⁹Not publicly disclosed. Executive Risk page as read on 2026-09-23.

Newfront says it tailors guidance for every growth stage using predictive models to help coverage adapt to evolving risks, and offers 24/7 dashboard access to policies, certificates and billing. ⁹Company-reported. The Newfront Difference and Industry-Leading Technology sections of the Executive Risk page.

HUB directs EPL prospects to contact a ProEx specialist rather than an online quote or bind flow. ⁴Company-reported. ProEx page call to action.

You start an EPLI placement by requesting a consultation through Newfront's Executive Risk page. ⁹Company-reported. Executive Risk page call-to-action; no online quoting or binding described.

HUB describes a Claims & Legal Risks Group, staffed by attorneys who specialize in ProEx coverages including EPL, that provides management-liability claims support from pre-claim policy-wording review through claim recovery. ⁴Company-reported. ProEx page claims and legal support section.

Newfront says it provides "integrated claims and coverage negotiation" for its Executive Risk lines, which would apply to an EPLI claim. ⁹Company-reported. The Newfront Difference section; described across Executive Risk lines, not an EPLI-specific claims workflow.
