It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our cherished colleague and dear friend, Keith W. Heard.
Keith practiced maritime law in New York since 1980, establishing himself as one of the field’s most knowledgeable and trusted authorities. Over the course of his distinguished career, he dedicated himself to the resolution of complex matters in both litigation and arbitration, handling an extraordinary breadth of maritime disputes—from cargo claims and charter party issues to collision and casualty cases. His depth of understanding in maritime law was unparalleled, and his ability to provide clear, thoughtful counsel made him a vital resource to clients and colleagues alike.
