Legal Support for Artists and Art Professionals with Axis Membership
As an artist, navigating the creative industry can have its challenges. From contracts and tax regulations to health and safety requirements, there’s a lot to manage in running your practice. With Axis, you don’t have to face it alone. Our 24/7 legal advice helpline, included with the Associate and Professional memberships, provides access to expert advice to support you every step of the way.
Key Benefits of the Legal Advice Helpline
Axis’s legal advice helpline is designed to help artists and art professionals handle the essential aspects of a professional practice with confidence.
Expert Guidance for Artists

Employment & Workplace:
Receive guidance on your rights and responsibilities, including employment laws, workplace discrimination, and freelance contracts.

How This Service Supports Your Practice
Imagine facing a contract that’s full of legal jargon or encountering a health and safety requirement for an upcoming installation. The helpline provides support, helping you better understand and address these challenges efficiently. It’s peace of mind, knowing that expert guidance is a call away whenever you need it.
What the Helpline Can’t Do
While the helpline offers valuable advice, it’s important to note that it cannot prepare formal correspondence, provide representation, or undertake negotiations. The service is designed to guide and equip you with essential information to handle these matters independently.
