Nationwide is only as good as its people. We take pride in our associates and our business partners. We get the E&S business, and we're driven to find unique, creative and innovative coverage solutions to the most challenging insurance needs. Operating on both an admitted and non-admitted basis, we write our policies on the following company paper: Freedom Specialty Insurance Company Simply put, Excess & Surplus lines (E&S) is a specialty market that insures things standard carriers won't cover. The difficult or high-risk exposures in which E&S carriers specialize may range from a mobile home or a day care center to a multinational oil company. And anything in between. The specialty market is constantly evolving, so E&S companies must react quickly and maintain a high level of flexibility to adapt to market changes.
