LeSourd Partners Underwriting Team
Underwriting is an art form, and LeSourd Partners is proud to have some of the best in the business on our team. Their combined knowledge of brokerage carriers’ underwriting strengths and weaknesses, combined with rich understanding of each carrier and their reinsurance underwriting manuals, helps keep our clients at the leading edge of successful policy placement.
Ultimately it is their relationships and friendships with the chief underwriters and medical directors at every brokerage carrier that sets them apart. Every month, our underwriting team goes out on the road to meet face-to-face with lead underwriting professionals at each brokerage carrier.
