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 Responds to FCA's OPBAS Consultation

The Law Society has responded to the Financial Conduct Authority’s (FCA) consultation on the plans for a new Office for Professional Body Anti-Money Laundering Supervision (OPBAS). The consultation invited comments on a proposed sourcebook for professional body supervisors and the cost benefit analysis for OPBAS.

The Law Society's response calls for more information on how OPBAS will seek to achieve the stated aims of encouraging collaboration and information sharing between professional body AML supervisors, law enforcement agencies and others.
