Does anyone know of any MGA's in CA that have access to the NOVA Casualty artisan contractor's program?

Nova Casualty does not appear on the California LESLIE list (as of June) so they would appear to not be approved as a surplus lines carrier, nor do they appear on the CDI website as a licensed admitted carrier.

They actually do show up on the DOI website. They were authorized to transact in CA in August of 06.

They are out of NY and part of AIX Group. I'm pretty sure that the program is on admitted paper. We have access to them for comp, but I don't know of any GA's with access to the GL program.

I have a question: what is the LESLIE list? Please also let me know how to access it if it is open to all.

The Nova Program in California has Admitted capabilities. The Program is limited to Residential Homebuilders and is only available in California. The MGU is Phoenix Underwriters. Good luck with your search.

The LESLI list is the List of Eligible Surplus Lines Insurers that is published by the California Department of Insurance. Typically we don't use a carrier who is not on this list. You can find it on the Department's website.
