Celebrating Excellence: Award-winning authors at Thomson Reuters 

Thomson Reuters authors have always been the backbone of the great content published by Thomson Reuters. This has been recognised at this year’s JF Northey Memorial Book Award with congratulations to Scott Optican and Elisabeth McDonald (General Editors) as well as Alexandra Allen-Franks, Andrea Ewing, Fionnghuala Cuncannon, Jack Oliver-Hood and Nick Whittington for being awarded the 2024 Legal Research Foundation Writing award with their book “Mahoney on Evidence Act and Analysis” and Nicola Peart who received a Highly Commended for “Trusts Act 2019: Act & Analysis”, both published by Thomson Reuters New Zealand. 

These authors are not the only Thomson Reuters authors to win this award. Over the past 12 years our authors have won this award; 8 out of the 12 years and in two of the other years we were Finalists and had a Special Mention.
