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.

General Election 2017

General Election 2017

Following the announcement that a General Election will take place on 8 June, all public sector bodies entered a formal Pre-Election Period from 21 April until the election during which their activities are restricted.

This period does not formally apply to the Law Society. However, during the period of increased political sensitivity, the Society will need to be especially careful that they are politically neutral and do not say anything that might prejudice their relationship with any potential incoming government or encourage someone to vote for a particular party or candidate.
 
Ahead of the election, the Society has set up an online action to allow members to write to their local candidates to highlight law and justice issues. The action only takes 5 minutes and includes a pre-written letter, which is available here. The Society hopes you will take the time to do so.
