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 Holds Drop-In Event In Parliament

Law Society Holds Drop-In Event In Parliament

The Law Society's had a quiet time in Parliament over the last couple of weeks, but last week held a drop-in event as part of their Early Advice campaign.

The event was hosted by former solicitor and member of the Justice Select Committee Bambos Charalambous MP, and was attended by other members of the Committee including David Hanson MP, Vicroria Prentis MP and Ellie Reeves MP.

Other notable people among the 25 MPs and researchers who attended were:

  • Justice Select Committee chair, Bob Neill MP
  • Former Conservative leader Rt. Hon. Iain Duncan Smith MP
  • Shadow Lord Chancellor Richard Burgon MP
  • Prominent Labour MPs David Lammy MP and Rosie Winterton MP

All attendees had their photo taken alongside the Society's sign that read "I support the Law Society's early advice campaign", a copy of which was sent to them along with a template press release that could be forwarded to their local media. The images can be seen on the @LawSociety Twitter account, and on the Society's Flickr page.
