The Harvard Association for Real Estate and Law (“HAREL”) is an active community for Harvard Law School students to explore their interests in all facets of the real estate industry, including legal practice, development, investing, financing, and land-use policy.

HAREL invites distinguished practitioners as guest speakers, organizes career treks, hosts networking and professional training sessions, and advocates for additional real estate-oriented academic offerings on campus. HAREL welcomes all current students and alumni looking to further develop their industry knowledge, connect with peers who have similar interests, and pursue professional opportunities.
