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.

Joe Egan Addresses First Regional Forum

Joe Egan Addresses First Regional Forum

The Law Society held its first Regional Forum on 25 September in Liverpool, kindly hosted by Weightmans.

Joe Egan, president of the Law Society, adderessed a group of representatives from Local Law Societies, special interest groups such as Junior lawyers, Women's lawyers and the Black Solicitors Network North and Council and Committee members from Cheshire and Liverpool. The discussion covered the governance review and plans to modernise The Law Society, the brand of 'solicitor' and the relationship with the SRA.

The Regional Fora broadens the Association of North West Local Law Societies (ANWLS) ideas, and aims to be a platform for networking and a more representative collective voice for the profession in the North West.

If you think a similar series of fora would be of benefit to the solicitor profession in the Tees Valley and wider North East region then let us know your thoughts by dropping us a line via our Contact page.
