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.

Mentoring Scheme: Last Chance To Get Involved

Mentoring Scheme: Last Chance To Get Involved

We reported recently on the Law Society's Mentoring Programme which aims to support the career progression of solicitors. In particular, the programme recognises that women, members of ethnic minorities, LGBT and disabled solicitors are under-represented at more senior levels of the legal profession, and so seeks to support through mentorship the progression of solicitors in these groups.

Mentors are not only a source of advice and direction but can also be a source of motivation and inspiration during challenging periods.

The scheme runs for a year and is open to practising solicitors across England and Wales, from all geographical and practice areas.

The deadline for applications is nearly upon us - 26 May - so if you want to get involved and have not already applied you will need to act fast!
