Nelson Brown - Legal Director
Nelson is the Principal of Nelson Brown Legal, a criminal law firm based in Melbourne and has been practising law since 2010. Playing football since year one in South Australia, Nelson hung up the boots after winning the Goldfields Football League (Kalgoorlie, WA) reserves premiership in 2013. Shortly after, he and his wife moved to Melbourne to continue his career in the law. Nelson and his young family live locally in Coburg.
For Nelson, the Coburg Lions Football Club – as a standalone VFL team – represents a local, community club for Coburg, and the surrounding suburbs. The Club has a very exciting future both on-field, after bringing in fresh talent through sharp recruiting moves and off-field as the club looks to redevelop their home-ground.
Using his legal, communications and advocacy skills, Nelson looks forward to giving advice to the Board, players and members. He is excited to work with the club in applying for grants through submissions, being involved in fundraising and social activities and most of all – meeting new and passionate people who strive for Coburg Lions success.
