Our legal services for the pharmacy sector
Our pharmacy lawyers provide specialist legal advice and a wide range of services for pharmacists and pharmacies, including:
Sale and purchase of pharmacy businesses
Buying and selling a pharmacy is very different from acquiring a general business, with technical and compliance issues unique to the sector. Our expertise helps you navigate such complexities, including the transfer of ownership of NHS contracts and the stringent regulatory requirements involved, to ensure smooth and efficient transactions.
We carry out due diligence and work closely with professional advisers to structure deals in a tax-efficient and legally compliant way. We'll also guide you through each stage of the process, from initial negotiations to contract completion, making sure that all regulatory and licensing requirements are properly addressed.
Property transactions and finance
Whether you’re expanding your pharmacy ownership, relocating, or refinancing an existing site, our property experts can assist with every aspect of your property transaction.
We provide support with leases, freehold transfers, and commercial mortgages, ensuring your property arrangements align with your business goals. We work closely with a network of brokers and lenders in the healthcare sector, which means you'll get the best financing options for your pharmacy’s growth and development.
Employment law and HR support
Managing a pharmacy team requires robust employment agreements and compliance with employment law. Our dedicated employment law specialists offer practical advice on issues like existing pharmacy contracts, employee redundancy, unfair dismissal, maternity rights, and health and safety compliance.
We also provide support with drafting locum agreements, staff handbooks, and managing employment disputes, ensuring that your pharmacy remains a fair and well-regulated workplace.
Partnership and shareholder agreements
Clear agreements between pharmacy partners and stakeholders are essential for long-term business success. Our experts regularly prepare and review bespoke partnership and shareholder agreements, and can make sure yours are tailored to your specific business structure and commercial goals.
Whether you’re forming a new partnership or restructuring an existing one, we’ll ensure any agreements reflect your business’ vision and safeguard your interests – now and in the future.
Property and finance transactions
Whether you’re expanding, relocating, or refinancing, property decisions require careful legal attention.
We provide dental clients with a comprehensive service covering freehold and leasehold transactions, including lease negotiation, renewals, and variations. We also work closely with healthcare brokers and lenders to support your business' long-term growth and financial stability, giving you more time to focus on your patients and what you do best.
Dispute resolution
Disputes can arise even in the best-managed businesses. Our specialist lawyers help resolve conflicts efficiently and constructively, focusing on achieving outcomes that protect your pharmacy’s interests while maintaining professional relationships.
We offer support across a wide range of legal issues, including:
Employment disputes
Partnership disagreements
Pharmaceutical investigations by the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC)
Compliance with the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA)
Financial and business strategy advice
Running a successful pharmacy requires careful financial planning and strategic decision-making. Our team provides invaluable legal guidance on funding, valuations, sale and leaseback arrangements, and practice mergers.
We can work with you to explore opportunities for growth and ensure your business’ financial health, whether you’re planning an acquisition, restructuring, or looking to optimise your current operations.
