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.

Law Society Briefing On SRA's New Transparency Rules

Law Society Briefing On SRA's New Transparency Rules

In June 2018, the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) announced the outcome of its consultation 'Looking to the Future: Better information, more choice'.

The SRA announced that it would make rules to require firms to publish more information on their websites about price, service and regulatory matters, coming into force at the end of the year.

The Law Society has developed a briefing for members to provide more detailed information about the announced changes and help you to consider the implications for your practice. The Society will also be developing a range of resources to help members to adapt to the changes, which will be announced in the future.

By reading the briefing, you'll get a better understanding of...:

  • what the changes were,
  • why they were announced, and
  • initial points to consider for risk and compliance within your practice.

The briefing paper can be downloaded here.
