We are excited to announce a significant change: MTVA will now be known as The National Legal Vendor Association (NLVA). We believe this new name better reflects our mission and commitment to serving the legal vendor community. Thank you for your continued support as we embark on this new chapter! We will be transitioning to this new identity over the coming months.
At NLVA we strive to set vendor standards for “Best Practices” within the legal community by having the industry’s leading and most knowledgeable vendors in Case Acquisition, Case Preparation, Client Logistics, Law Firm Capacity, and Settlement Services available for our trial lawyers.
