Partner Alan Klein was featured in a Harvard Law Today article discussing the launch of a new Transactional Law Workshop at Harvard Law School, which will be co-taught by Alan and David Sorkin, a former partner at Simpson Thacher and the former Chief Legal Officer, and a current senior advisory partner, of KKR, Inc. The Q&A discussion details how the new course, which will be held in the spring semester of the 2023-2024 school year, will provide students with an opportunity to work with lawyers, M&A advisers and business clients to learn the ins and outs of complex corporate transactions. The new offering will provide hands-on experience with reviewing, drafting and negotiating transaction-related documents as part of a simulated mergers and acquisition transaction. When speaking to what inspired this new course and its importance for today’s students, Alan explains, “the Transactional Law Workshop will give Harvard Law students an opportunity to put into practice the legal principles that they have been learning in other courses. They’ll discover that the issue spotting that they have applied to case law really matters in reviewing transactional documents, for example.” He goes on further to state how learning how to “think like a lawyer” was a valuable tool he developed when he was a student at Harvard Law School and one that has been fundamental to his legal career.~~To read the full article, please click here.
