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.

Changes To Law Society Governance For 2018

Changes To Law Society Governance For 2018

In January 2018 the Law Society will roll-out the first phase of their new governance arrangements agreed by Council.

The governance review has been under way for some time, and the implementation of the initial set of changes has now been agreed.

The new Main Board, intended to facilitate efficient and agile decision making, will meet at least every two months.

Feeding in to this Board will be one board covering policy and regulation, and another covering membership and operations. Chairs of these boards will sit on the Main Board.

The specialist committees who bring their expert advice and perspective to the policy work of the society will report to the policy and regulation board.

Work is also under way by the Council Membership committee to look at the representativeness of Council, and recommendations will come to Council in due course.
