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.
In October 2016 the Employment Tribunal, in a landmark judgment, decided that 19 Uber drivers should be classified as workers and were entitled to the employment rights associated with this status.
In this piece for the Law Society's website, Nick Denys talks to Nigel Mackay and Annie Powell, solicitors from Leigh Day who ran the case for the drivers, about the clash between employment law and technology platforms.
