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.

LSB Draft Business Plan 2017-18

LSB Draft Business Plan 2017-18

The Law Society has responded to the Legal Services Board's draft business plan for 2017-18.

The Society encouraged the LSB to continue to hold frontline regulators to account for any proposed regulatory changes. The Society particularly encouraged the LSB to require frontline regulators to undertake a full cost-benefit analysis of any proposed changes, thus ensuring a sound evidence-base for change and bolstering transparency and accountability.

The coming year will see more changes for the profession, and wider society, and the Society emphasised the importance of ensuring the UK legal sector continues to be viewed as one of the best in the world, producing vibrant, high quality and independent professionals, with the rule of law at its heart.
