Biography
As one of the founding partners of the Larson King, LLP law firm and previously a partner in the Zelle & Larson, LLP law firm, Keith has been actively engaged in the insurance and reinsurance coverage community for over 30+ years. During that time, he has directly participated in some of the most significant insurance/reinsurance and crises management challenges over the last three decades. Among the cases in which he had direct personal involvement include: silicone breast implant defense, insurance and reinsurance coverage litigation/arbitration; asbestos product and non-product liability defense, insurance and reinsurance coverage litigation/arbitration; several significant environmental clean-up insurance and reinsurance coverage cases; and significant bodily injury and property damage class actions and related coverage litigation; including, for example, direct involvement in litigation arising from the 9/11 World Trade Center attack; Dr. Larry Nassar/USAG/USOCP Sexual Abuse claims; the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill; as well as many well-known superfund site environmental coverage disputes, including disputes arising from Love Canal, Stringfellow, and Three-Mile Island environmental disasters.


In addition to publishing many articles in legal journals and law reviews, Keith was the Part 4 Editor and Chapter Author of the "Reinsurance Professional's Deskbook: A Practical Guide," published in 2019, 2020 by Thomson, Reuters; and Co-Editor/Author of Chapter 72: The Reinsurance Contract in the New Appleman on Insurance Law, Library Edition.
