OLLU trustee and noted San Antonio lawyer, Andrew Borrego, will serve as commencement speaker when OLLU confers degrees for more than 400 graduate and undergraduate students during commencement ceremonies on Saturday at 11 a.m. at Freeman Coliseum.

Borrego is a native of San Antonio, where he grew up on the city’s West Side. He is licensed to practice in Texas and New York and a founding member of Moreno and Borrego Law, PLLC. Borrego practices in the areas of business and corporate transactions, entertainment and sports law, and civil litigation. He has been named by his Texas peers as a Texas Rising Star in the area of entertainment and sports law (2011-2013), a distinction given to only 2.5 percent of Texas attorneys.

In addition to the practice of law, he has served as an adjunct professor in the business school at Our Lady of the Lake University where he taught Business Law, Health Law and Nonprofit Law.
