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.

Diversity and Inclusion Charter 2017 Submission Deadline

Diversity and Inclusion Charter 2017 Submission Deadline

The Diversity and Inclusion Charter was established in 2009 by the Law Society, BT and the Society of Asian Lawyers. The aim of the Charter is to help firms and practices turn their commitment to diversity and inclusion in to positive, practical action for their businesses, staff and clients.

The window for the 2017 submission opened in May and the 14 July deadline to submit your firm’s return is fast-approaching. This is your opportunity to help the Law Society shape the future of the profession, and they need your input and case studies, so be sure to beat the 14 July deadline.

Find out more and access the Charter reporting tool here.

Firm diversity data

The Law Society has confirmed that...:

  • Firms do not need to provide their firm’s diversity data to the Law Society as part of the Diversity and Inclusion Charter reporting - the information you enter about the make up of your firm, when you access the reporting tool, is used to ensure you complete the correct questionnaire for the Charter.
  • Firm diversity data is being collected by the SRA in the week commencing 17 July 2017

The Law Society therefore requires firms to provide written consent for the SRA to pass your data to the Law Society as part of the Charter submission and reporting process. To confirm your consent please email the D&I Charter team at inclusioncharter@LawSociety.org.uk.
