Baltimore, (AUGUST 18, 2025) – Saul Ewing LLP has added two award-winning attorneys, Partners Kimberly J. Min and Craig B. Heron, to its Baltimore office.

Ms. Min is a regular panelist for the National Association of Bond Lawyers. She is recognized by both Chambers USA and The Best Lawyers in America for her work in Real Estate Law, and she is a fellow in the American College of Real Estate Lawyers.

“We are absolutely thrilled to welcome Kimberly and Craig to Saul Ewing,” said Baltimore Office Managing Partner Jonathan Havens. “Not only will they strengthen the firm’s real estate and corporate benches, but their addition will be a particular boon to clients that utilize public financing and those in public-private partnerships. Kimberly and Craig are also very active in the Baltimore legal community and dedicated to work that lifts neighborhoods and boosts the economy in the city and far beyond. I am especially excited that they will help to build upon our already deep commitment to and involvement in the community.”
George T. Magnatta, chair of the firm’s Public Finance Practice, added, “Both Kimberly and Craig are highly skilled practitioners in public finance law, and they are well regarded by their legal peers and clients in Maryland for their work with nonprofit and for-profit borrowers. We are pleased they have joined us at Saul Ewing, and we look forward to the enhancements they will bring to the firm’s nationally recognized Public Finance Group and the billions of dollars of tax-exempt and taxable financings our attorneys handle for clients.”
