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.

CILEx Governance Reform

CILEx Governance Reform

The Chartered Institute of Legal Executives (CILEx) has announced that it is restructuring its governance structure, with the aim of separating-out its duties to the public interest, the profession and independent regulation. It is doing this so that it is prepared should the government choose to make legal regulators entirely independent, and is being driven by a desire to embed best practice within the organisation.

The new structure will be headed by a group board, underneath which will be the boards of CILEx Professional, CILEx Law School, and Group Services. CILEx regulation will continue to have its own independent board.

Further details are available on the CILEx website.
