Harvard Association for Law & Business

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

Overview
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.

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