ProArts+ provides specialist legal, business consultancy and governance services to creative organisations

Keith Arrowsmith and his colleagues provide creative and cultural organisations, charities and other third sector bodies with legal advice*, expert guidance and strategic solutions.

We have lots of experience sorting out governance and administration headaches, and the paperwork that underpins artistic and charitable activity. We deliver our services expertly, following stringent Codes of Practice, without pomp or ceremony.

If you work for a public body, or you are a volunteer trustee for a charity, or a director of a creative company, we'd be delighted to help.

Industry Leading

Keith has been recognised by independent publications as a leading supplier of legal and governance advice. He knows how to explain complex rules and regulations in a friendly, sensible, cost-efficient manner.

Online or In Person

We want to make sure our services are as accessible as possible. We can help in person, or by using the latest online technologies. By default, all of our work with you will remain confidential, and we know that some conversations are easier in person. We work from our offices in London and Sheffield, and use public transport to travel elsewhere.

Easy to use

We can provide as much (or as little) support as you want. We love teamwork, and we can deliver stand-alone projects if the need arises. We will make sure that each project is carefully and thoughtfully designed, and the budget agreed with you before we start work.

Advice when you need it

Keith has over 25 years of experience of providing legal and governance services. If he doesn't know the answer, he'll know someone who does. His passion and support for the arts sector means that he knows the practical issues that are faced every day, whether you work with the smallest community organisations, or the largest national bodies.

Simple and easily applied solutions

We spend years studying and researching the rules and regulations that apply to the sector, so you don't have to worry about the best approach. We'll work with you to find the best way to proceed. We can provide easy to understand written reports for you to share, or engaging workshops for a facilitated process.

Legal services or general advice

Keith is a solicitor regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority. That means that everything he does meets a stringent Code of Conduct. You choose whether you want Keith to provide legal advice via his regulated law firm, or general consultancy services.
