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.

The Biggest Cyber-Threat Of All

The Biggest Cyber-Threat Of All

Friday afternoon fraud, the practice by which law firms are tricked into giving bank details to fraudsters, usually as conveyancing transactions are being completed, is now the biggest cybercrime afflicting the legal sector.

In a piece on the Law Society blob, Oz Alshe, CEO and founder of Cybsafe, uses a real-life case study to illustrate the real risks - both financial and reputational - that Friday afternoon can wreak on your firm, and how you can protect yourself and your clients. That article can be read here.

We also have a number of related articles on the TVLS website, including a real-life case study - you will find them in the Fraud & Cyber Security section of the site's News pages.
