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.

Ministry of Justice Probate Fee Guidance

Ministry of Justice Probate Fee Guidance

Last spring the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) consulted on a new probate fees scheme, and in February of this year they announced the scheme would be taken forward. The Law Society responded to this consultation in April 2016, and the government's decisions on the proposed scheme were announced in the spring Budget of 2017.

The MoJ has produced guidance as a response to the questions raised so far about the new scheme ahead of its implementation; note that this is not Law Society guidance.
