Berkley Design Professional is not your typical insurance partner and the location of our main office is your first clue. 

Nestled on the edge of the Pacific Ocean, with the fragrant ocean breezes coming through our windows, our team has a unique perspective from which they can develop innovative professional liability insurance solutions. In a place like this, it’s hard not to love what we do and that passion permeates throughout our entire company – no matter what location – as we all have a little of the Monterey Peninsula vibe inside us!

Our nontraditional approach to professional liability insurance for architects and engineers (A&E) is demonstrated in many ways:

•	We are unencumbered by the whims of big carrier management think because our key decision makers reside within our business, not layers above.
•	Our underwriters average more than 20 years underwriting design professional risks and will thoughtfully consider each account rather than underwrite from a template or wait for approval from the home office. 
•	Our experienced in-house claims professionals have reasonable workloads so that they can focus on providing excellent customer service and resolving issues efficiently and effectively. 
•	Our risk and practice management team includes industry veterans who know how to mitigate the day-to-day professional risks of running a successful design firm.

The Berkley DP motto is Better By Design® because we’re a solutions-based insurance organization with three key values.

•	We are passionate about serving design firms.
•	We are connected to our brokers and policyholders.
•	We are committed to surpassing expectations.

Let’s see how we can bring some of the Monterey Peninsula vibe to your design professional insurance experience.
