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 Governance Review

Law Society Governance Review

The Law Society of England and Wales’ new strategy in 2015 committed to review the Society’s governance. At its meeting on 18 May 2016 the Law Society Council took a further step in considering proposals for change to ensure Council continues to be representative of a changing profession. The Council discussed a paper from its Governance Review Working Group, which can be viewed here.

You can read more about the existing governance structure here:

Work is now ongoing to develop detailed proposals for change; The Law Society’s Governance Review Working Group will meet next on 9 June and other meetings will be scheduled to follow. As part of this process, the working group is keen to hear from firms and members - to share your views with the working group please email representation@lawsociety.org.uk.
