Our benefactors
Our benefactors contribute significantly to the quality and success of legal education in Oxford. By attracting philanthropic support from leading firms, chambers, trusts, foundations and individuals, Oxford Law’s Development Office works actively with our partners to ensure excellent standards in education, to pursue new initiatives and to cover broader reaches of scholarship.
It is our privilege to recognise the invaluable contribution that our benefactors make to the intellectual life at Oxford Law. The Faculty of Law is deeply grateful to all its donors for their generous support:

Donations to the Faculty of Law are received in accordance with the University’s Donor Charter.
The naming of academic posts in honour of benefactors is in recognition of our gratitude for major support of the study of Law in Oxford, and reflects the contribution of a donor to particular areas of study in the Faculty of Law.
Persons holding posts named for a benefactor are appointed by the Faculty in the normal rigorous way through open competition, by University selection panels which do not include representatives of the donor. All holders of named posts are employees of the University, with all the rights to permanent employment and all the responsibilities of employees of the University, including academic freedom and independence in writing and researching. Holding a post named in honour of a benefactor does not make the post holder an employee of the benefactor, nor does it permit the benefactor to influence the research of the post holder in any way.

The 2019 'We Fund Oxford Law' image displays the Faculty of Law at the St Cross Building, taken by Dan Marsh Films. We invite Oxford Law benefactors to display the image at any Oxford recruitment activities as a sign of partnership between our benefactors and the Faculty. In our frequent correspondence with students, both graduate and undergraduate, the Faculty will indicate the importance of this image, and the numerous ways in which our benefactors support Oxford Law students.
