2022 Speaker 
Picture
Anthony Blake is a graduate of St. Andrew Nativity School's (Portland) second-ever graduating class. He is a litigation attorney at Stoel Rives LLP in Portland, Oregon. His law practice includes contract disputes, trade secrets and confidentiality, and commercial leasing matters. Anthony also has significant sports law experience and understands the legal complexities affecting the world of sports-related businesses and athlete management, especially issues related to the name, image, likeness rights (NIL) of student athletes. He's been included on the Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch list and selected as a Super Lawyers Rising Star. 

He graduated from Nativity Portland in 2005 and Jesuit High School in 2009. Anthony didn’t necessarily grow up wanting to be an attorney, but he did always know he wanted to do something to make a difference in Portland, where he has lived his whole life. In high school his father pushed him to succeed athletically and his mother pushed him to succeed academically, both with the intention of qualifying him for a scholarship so he could become the first person in his family to attend college. His parents’ efforts paid off when he was offered a scholarship to play football at College of the Holy Cross in Massachusetts. However, an Oregonian through and through, he transferred to University of Oregon after his first year so he could be closer to his family. After suffering an Achilles injury on the field, he decided to walk away from football despite being a member of two Pac-12 Football Championship teams.

Anthony still had high aspirations, so he switched gears and began studying for the LSAT. His competitive nature, love of public speaking, and analytical mind made a legal career an obvious choice. Anthony graduated from Lewis & Clark Law School in 2016 as a member of the Cornelius Honor Society and a recipient of the Roosevelt Robinson Scholarship. He currently serves as Chair of Nativity Portland's Board of Trustees and is a member of the Multnomah Bar Association's Young Lawyers Section Board of Directors and Sport Oregon's Young Professional's Board. 

Anthony and his wife Kelli have a daughter and son duo, Amaya (4) and Amari (10 months), along with two Boston Terriers, Bubba and Bentley.
