VWV Approach
VWV Approach is a free legal referral and support network operated by VWV.
This page answers common questions, such as:
As a member you can introduce work you choose not to do to VWV, without risk of losing your client. Membership helps you give your clients access to a full range of legal services and provides you with access to other benefits.
As a member, you will benefit from:
- Being able to offer a wider range of services to your clients.
- A written non-poaching agreement ensuring that you retain your clients.
- Increased income - provided the matter is not publicly funded or a criminal matter, we will pay you a share of our fees (you can waive fee share if you prefer).
- Free legal assistance by talking to our lawyers and management team, to bounce ideas off them or talk through issues.
- A free CPD training programme.
We offer a wide range of legal services to individuals and businesses. If we can't help you ourselves we will do our best to introduce you or your client to another firm who can help - we have contacts at firms across the UK, in the Channel Islands, Republic of Ireland and Isle of Man, as well as in the European Union.
Our VWV Approach team received the 'Team of the Year' award from the Bristol Law Society both in 2018 and 2021. The award recognises those who have made an outstanding contribution in the legal sector.
Legal referrals can be made via our online referral form.
