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.
New guidance has been published by the Law Society to assist solicitors who receive a request from a property and financial affairs attorney or deputy for access to the will of an individual who has lost mental capacity.
The guidance sets out when a solicitor can safely recognise the authority of a property and financial affairs attorney or deputy to see a client's will, and when they should refer them to the Court of Protection.
