WHAT IS HEREL?
Supporting Real Estate and Construction Lawyers in Higher Ed
Established in 2003 by lawyers from the University of Pennsylvania and Duke University, HEREL is an informal organization of higher education lawyers committed to providing networking and high quality CLE opportunities for attorneys who practice real estate and construction law at institutions of higher education. HEREL also welcomes participation by outside counsel who represent higher education institutions and by non-lawyer real estate professionals working in higher education.
The Higher Education Real Estate Lawyers Affinity Group
HEREL conferences attract real estate practitioners from the country’s leading higher education institutions, including Yale, Duke, the University of Pennsylvania, MIT, Stanford, the University of California System and others. The small-group setting of HEREL conferences, generally capped at 50 participants, and the large percentage of conference participants who return to the conference year after year create a level of camaraderie that allows colleagues to speak freely about issues and questions that, in a larger setting, might be more difficult.
