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.

Review of the Legal Services Board and the Office for Legal Complaints

On 24 November the Law Society submitted their response to the MoJ's Review of the Legal Services Board (LSB) and the Office for Legal Complaints (OLC).

In their response the Law Society emphasised the importance of the LSB acting independently from Governmental control.  The Society also noted the importance of the LSB focusing on oversight of the frontline regulators, and requiring robust use of impact assessments from all regulators.
