The Harvard Association for Law & Business (or HALB) is a student organization at Harvard Law School that connects students with business leaders.[1]

Overview

[edit]

HALB hosts panels and events that explore issues in the business world, especially as they intersect with the law. The organization also creates opportunities for members to meet like-minded students and practitioners and supports HLS students who are interested in non-legal business careers.[2]

For instance, 2015-16 President, Alexander Rienzie, hosted fireside chats with Skybridge Capital Founder, Anthony Scaramucci,[3] and former Pfizer CEO, Jeff Kindler,[4] among others. In past years, HALB hosted panels featuring Vinson & Elkins,[5] Burford Capital,[6] Simpson Thacher & Bartlett, The Carlyle Group, Silverwood,[7] K&L Gates,[8] and Sullivan & Cromwell,[9] among many others.
