Membership of Tees Valley Law Society offers opportunities whether you are a qualified solicitor or other legal professional, or you are in the early stages of training.

Members are offered discounted rates for all of our training events, which are held locally and at the end of the working day to ensure the least disruption to you, your firm and your clients. We hold regular networking and social events where members can come together informally to discuss issues within the profession, but more importantly to share ideas.

Membership of TVLS is about offering support whether formally through involvement of the Council or more informally by sharing ideas about best practice with other firms. By becoming a member of TVLS there are opportunities to become involved in the running of the Society, whether through membership of Council or Committees or in a more informal role.

The application process is quick and simple and membership is great value. Join us today.

Article 50 Judgement

Article 50 Judgement

The vitriolic reaction to the decision by High Court judges that Article 50 should be triggered by Parliament and not by government continued to receive extensive coverage over the past week. Writing for The Times' daily legal e-newsletter, The Brief, Robert Bourns, president of the Law Society of England and Wales, called attention to the fact that an independent judiciary underpins Britain's democracy and the rule of law. The Times (paywalled) along with City AM, Law Society Gazette, Politics Home and Solicitors Journal reported remarks by Attorney General Jeremy Wright QC at the Law Society defending the judiciary.
