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.

Driving Offences and Penalties Consultation

Driving Offences and Penalties Consultation

The Law Society has responded to a Ministry of Justice (MoJ) consultation on driving offences and penalties relating to causing death and serious injury.

While the Society agreed with the government that maintaining the objective tests of careless and dangerous driving in the offences, and that creating a new offence of careless driving causing serious injury would fill gap in the scope of these offences, they disagreed that the maximum penalty for causing death by dangerous driving should be increased from 14 years' imprisonment to life.
