Law student awarded £1,000 and internship at Thompsons Solicitors
Thompsons Solicitors Scotland received more entries than ever before for this year’s Frank Maguire Memorial Award. Law students across Scotland were asked to write a blog post on a current issue, inspired by the work of Frank Maguire.
This year the award was won by Euan Robertson, a third-year student at Strathclyde University, who penned an impressive blog on head injuries in football. He won £1,000 and an internship, which he will be starting in May at Thompson’s Glasgow office.
On winning the award Euan said: “I am absolutely delighted to win and can’t wait to grasp the opportunities which come with it. Football is something I’m passionate about and I think that my blog post highlights an issue which doesn’t get the recognition it deserves.”
Partner Patrick McGuire, who oversees the competition, added: “We had a large amount of very strong entries this year but on balance we felt that Euan’s was a clear winner.
“I would like to congratulate Euan and wish him all the best for his future career.”
