About ProArtsPlus

Keith Arrowsmith and his colleagues provide creative and cultural organisations, charities and other third sector bodies with specialist 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, charity, social enterprise or a creative company, we’d be delighted to help.

Industry Leading

Over 30 years, Keith Arrowsmith has been recognised by many independent publications and industry bodies 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. 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 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.
