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.

Solicitors - Here To Help

Solicitors - Here To Help

The Law Society has launched the second phase in their "Solicitors - Here to Help" campaign. The campaign continues to raise the profile of the profession, improve understanding of the vital role solicitors play and drive more people to the Law Society's website and the Find a Solicitor service, in order to help solicitors attract new clients.

Based on research with the public and businesses, the campaign promotes solicitors as being experts in their field, honest and honourable, client focused, approachable and accessible, giving value for money and adding value to society.

The campaign will use bus and rail posters, social media. video and animation, online and outdoor advertising, magazine, newspaper and broadcast advertising on ITV hub, and infographics.

To get involved, register with My Law Society to...:

  • Download print-ready files of the posters to use in your offices
  • Find out how to customise posters with your own photos, your logo and contact details
  • Download the guides to engage with the campaign and your potential customers on social media
  • Access other sharable content (infographics, videos, animations) as they are uploaded

There are also other ways you can get involved in the campaign:

#SolicitorChat on Twitter every Thursday 9-10am

#SolicitorChat is a regular discussion covering a variety of legal issues affecting solicitors and their clients, and is used by the campaign to create customer-facing blogs, graphics and infographics. Join in for your chance to win a £10 caffeine fix!

Send pictures for the Instagram campaign

The campaign is spreading the message that solicitors are friendly and approachable. Email an action shot of you doing what you love - running, cycling, learning how to kick box - along with a brief summary and your contact details to lawsociety@dtw.co.uk, and you'll be featured in the Instagram campaign.

Share your success stories

Case studies will help the campaign to showcase solicitors' work. If you have a story to tell about a client you've helped (and your client is happy to be involved) then email CaseStudies@lawsociety.co.uk with brief details of your story.
