Roxanne Elings is a a partner at Davis Wright Tremaine in their New York City office. She’s a force in the intellectual property world, but as you’ll read below it wasn’t all planned out. While her career has been wildly impressive- Roxanne was the first to obtain orders that addressed the challenges resulting from online IP theft- none of it came without sheer hard work and persistence. Through her own personal journey she’s had to advocate for herself as a female in the workplace, which has led to her mentoring and sponsoring other women along the way. She says it best in that “you can’t pay it back, you can only pay it forward.” Cheers to her words of wisdom paying it forward to all of us.
