About

The Haslam Business Law Society exists to bridge the gap between the fields of business and law by providing career exploration, hands-on learning opportunities, and law school preparation to students interested in this intersection. Our mission is to empower Haslam College of Business students, and others across campus, with meaningful exposure to legal concepts, alumni connections, and career pathways that involve legal and regulatory frameworks, both within and outside of law school. 

The HBLS will serve as a resource hub and professional development community for students interested in business-adjacent legal fields, including but not limited to:

• Contract Law

• Corporate Law

• Securities Law

• Antitrust Law

• Labor Law

• Tax Law

• Real Estate Law

• Compliance & Risk

• Government & Regulatory Agencies

• Mergers & Acquisitions, Private Equity, and Venture Capital

• Career Exploration – Facilitate networking with alumni and professionals across legal and quasi-legal roles in corporate, governmental, and non-profit sectors.

• Law School Preparation – Offer support for the law school application process through collaboration with existing pre-law organizations and access to prep resources.

• Hands-On Learning – Engage students through simulations, workshops, case studies, and scenario-based events to build real-world understanding of legal-business interactions.

• Community & Collaboration – Create a collaborative environment for students to share interests, ideas, and resources related to law and business.
