Tim Neilson – a $30,000 Gift to Scholarships

Tim Neilson (LLb (hons) 1983) decided to give $30,000 to Melbourne Law School scholarships during this year's Law Annual Appeal.

"I decided to give to the Law School I went through. I am grateful for what others did that made my time as a student at the Law School so beneficial to me, and I hope that students will continue to have the same quality of experience that I did. And I decided to give to scholarships because clearly scholarships are important for students."

A Director of leading specialist tax firm Greenwoods & Freehills, Tim is a member of the Advisory Board of Melbourne Law School Tax Group and is a Senior Fellow in the Melbourne Law Masters Program, having taught in the program for seven years.


Davies Collison Cave – sponsor of a Chair of Intellectual property

Since 1998, Davies Collison Cave has sponsored a chair of intellectual Property.

Mr Keith Leslie
Mr Keith Leslie, Senior Partner, Davies Collison Cave
 

"The firm has a long tradition and commitment to the advancement of education and training in intellectual property, and sees Melbourne Law School as a pioneer and leading contributor to teaching at a postgraduate level. Contributing to that education and training is, we feel, part of our social responsibility.

Many partners and staff of  the firm are graduates of the University of Melbourne not only in law, but also in science and engineering, and have feelings of loyalty and pride in the institution.

We also see the donation of prizes and support for the DCC Chair not only as a means for encouragement of students to learn and excel in intellectual property, but also as a means to promote our profile as a leading intellectual property firm both to our clients and to students who may be future employment prospects."
