Lulu WardLulu Ward is an alumna and was in Cohort 4 of the Business Law Scholars Program. She is currently an Associate at Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld in New York. She is an associate in the corporate practice, focusing on private equity transactions and private mergers and acquisitions, with additional experience in capital markets and debt finance transactions.

Lulu has a BS in Economics and Global Business from NYU’s Stern School of Business. She graduated from Stern in December of 2019 and then spent 9 months working in operations at a technology startup called Saturn. Through her time in undergrad, Lulu interned at a variety of companies, from a small wellness startup called Daybreaker to the world’s largest HR Consulting Firm, Mercer. This exposure to companies of all sizes developed Lulu’s keen interest in business growth and development, and sparked her desire to do corporate transactional work after law school.
