Berkley Alliance Professional’s pollution liability, professional liability (E&O), and faulty workmanship coverage for artisan contractors is now available through Appulate, giving agents easier access and a simpler submission process.

**Westlake Village, CA, November 2, 2026.** Appulate, an InsurTech pioneer with more than 20 years of experience in insurance automation and cutting-edge AI-powered technology, today announced that Berkley Alliance Professional is offering its pollution liability, professional liability (E&O), and faulty workmanship insurance coverage for artisan contractors through Appulate's digital platform, expanding agent access to these coverages while simplifying the submission process.

The admitted product, available in 47 states, is designed for small contractors, including plumbers, electricians, HVAC contractors, drywall contractors, painters, and similar artisan trades. The solution helps agents address exposures that are not typically covered by general liability policies, but which their small contractor clients may face.

Backed by Berkley Alliance Professional's specialized underwriting experience, responsive service, and competitive pricing, the offering is now available through Appulate's single-entry platform, allowing agents to submit business without duplicate data entry and improving efficiency, accuracy, and productivity.

“Our integration with Appulate expands access to Berkley Alliance Professional's pollution liability, professional liability (E&O), and faulty workmanship insurance solutions through a platform many agents already know and trust,” said Robert J. Connor, JD, CIC, executive vice president, Berkley Alliance Professional. “By adding Appulate to our distribution strategy, we're making it easier for agents to do business with us.”

The relationship reflects both organizations' commitment to improving the agent experience through technology, operational efficiency, and easier access to insurance products.
