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.

Pro Bono: Good For The Community And For Lawyers

Pro Bono: Good For The Community And For Lawyers

Pro bono plays a more important role than ever before, due to the very significant and well-documented cuts to legal aid following the 2012 Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act (LASPO).

In this piece for the Law Society blog, Luara Bee discusses how by helping the community through pro bono work, lawyers can also bring benefits to themselves and their firms. The article goes on to explore ways that individual lawyers and firms can become involved in pro bono work.
