At Cory Washington & Co., the Black Sheep doesn’t represent exclusion — It represents exceptionalism.
In a world full of followers, we stand with the few who lead.

The builders. The risk-takers. The visionaries who choose their own path —
not because it's easy, but because it's necessary.

We adopted the Black Sheep as our emblem because we serve clients who:

Don’t conform — they create.
Don’t blend in — they stand out.
Don’t fear risk — they master it.

They’re the business owners forging industries, not just operating in them. And they deserve a Firm that’s just as bold.

We’re not here to offer generic coverage.

We engineer elite, strategic protection built for businesses that move markets.

Because when you're the outlier in your field, you don't need more of the same — You need a partner that sees risk the way you do: As a competitive advantage.

Cory Washington & Co.
Insurance for the uncommon.
