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.

Legal Apprenticeships

Legal Apprenticeships

Now that legal apprenticeships are being offered as an alternative to the traditional graduate route to qualification it's possible to qualify as a solicitor, paralegal or chartered legal executive by completing an apprenticeship.

The standards expected of apprentice solicitors are the same as those expected of all solicitors, with rigorous assessments before they are admitted to the profession. An apprentice receives a salary and will complete a combination of classroom and work-based learning.

If you or anyone you know may be interested in becoming an apprentice, or if your firm would like to find out more about the apprenticeship scheme, then further information is available from the SRA, the Law Society, and the government's Get In, Go Far website.
