Anders Huizenga is a trial lawyer and an honors graduate of the University of Texas School of Law. Before law school, Anders earned his bachelor’s degree in political science from Yale University, where he earned All-Ivy honors as an offensive lineman on the 2017 championship football team.

Between undergrad and law school, Anders worked as an Associate in the legal and compliance group at Goldman Sachs, helping investing teams navigate complex legal and regulatory challenges. But after more than three years in that role, Anders arrived at law school with a strong sense that he wanted to be a trial lawyer. Numerous mock trial competitions and two summers at AZA confirmed that calling. While in law school, Anders was a member of the Texas Law Mock Trial team and was inducted into Order of Barristers, a national honorary organization that recognizes law students who have excelled in oral advocacy.
