A dealmaker gets extra credit


I suspect Bruce Wasserstein has some skillful handlers. He currently runs the investment bank Lazard Ltd. (NYSE:LAZ) and is no doubt doing tons of deals.

In the meantime, he's got extracurricular activities. One is a $25 million gift to his alma matter, Harvard Law School. It will be used to build the Wasserstein Hall and the architect is Robert A.M. Stern (you can see it on the right).

It will be completed in 2011.

Oh, Wasserstein also has his own investment firm. It's called Wasserstein & Co., LP. This week, the firm hired Credit Suisse Group (NYSE:CS) to look at "strategic alternatives" for ALM, which is a top legal publisher. Some of its properties include The American Lawyer, Corporate Counsel and The National Law Journal. There is also the Law.com portal (which, by the way, is a great resource).
