We’re pleased to announce the launch of our Weekly Surplus Lines Update Portal, a comprehensive subscription service designed to help surplus lines carriers and brokers stay ahead of regulatory developments across all 50 states and U.S. territories. Navigating the surplus lines marketplace requires constant vigilance, and this portal delivers the most relevant, actionable guidance you need in one centralized, easy-to-use platform.

What’s included:

  1. Weekly regulatory updates via color-coded U.S. map for quick identification of new developments
  2. Clear applicability scoping so you know whether changes affect brokers, insurers, or both, and U.S. vs. alien markets
  3. State-specific data call monitoring with filing assistance
  4. Enforcement action insights to help you learn from industry trends and reduce compliance risk

Developed by our nationally recognized insurance regulatory team — including co-authors of the Excess and Surplus Lines Laws Manual — the portal goes beyond headlines to provide bespoke analysis tailored to your business needs. If you’d like to discuss access or learn more, please contact us at surpluslines@troutman.com.
