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.

Teesside Law Clinic

Teesside Law Clinic

Teesside Law Clinic at Teesside University provides 3rd year students the opportunity to work on live cases on a pro bono basis. In addition to this the University runs a family law clinic on a Wednesday afternoon with a number of local law firms, which is very successful and fills a gap in the family law advice desert. Furthermore, the University is actively involved in campaigning (both legally challenging and voicing concerns) in respect of the “Same Roof Rule” on behalf of victims of historic abuse.

With this in mind the University is actively seeking law firms to work with their students on specific projects within the community. Examples of some projects that could be explored are as follows:

  1. Employment law advice clinic
  2. New business start-ups advice clinic
  3. Small claim procedure clinic
  4. Wills Service

There may be others that you wish to explore with the University who are open to ideas and opportunities. If you or your firm would like to explore some possibilities please get in touch with Andrew Perriman by email at a.perriman@tees.ac.uk.
