The Olympic Games are racing ever closer and first over the line for the legal profession is former schoolboy sprint hurdles record holder, Paul Trincas.

Now a partner at Newbury firm Charles Lucas & Marshall, Trincas is to be one of 200 officials helping ensure that the athletics events at the London 2012 Olympic Games run smoothly.

The qualified athletics coach said: ‘I love athletics and to be part of such a great occasion within the main Olympic stadium will be the experience of a lifetime.’
