Artists in England can ask us a legal query, which we send to external legal specialists for an opinion

Are you using the right form?

Our legal query service is not intended as legal advice, and should not prevent you from asking for legal advice from a qualified lawyer or solicitor. It is a first-stop for artists looking for essential legal information related to their practice or career.

Before you get in touch, take a look through our Artlaw section including the main legal questions we’re asked by artists on copyright, censorship, contracts and more.
