Pharmacy Legal Services
Pharmacists and pharmacy owners face a unique set of challenges in today’s healthcare landscape, but also varied opportunities as vital providers of healthcare services and advice at the heart of our communities.
Whether you are applying for a new pharmacy contract, relocating an existing pharmacy or opposing a local pharmacy application that has been notified to you, our expert team of experienced pharmacy lawyers are here to support you and your business. In the UK, we can guide you through the whole process from application form to NHS England decision to NHS Resolution appeal.
It is natural that any professional who is facing an investigation by their regulator will be worried about what might happen. If you find yourself subject to a fitness to practise investigation whether by NHS England or the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) we will stand side-by-side with you to seek the best possible outcome.
If you decide to sell your pharmacy business, or are looking to buy a pharmacy or group of pharmacies, our specialist pharmacy transactions team can guide you through the whole process. With a detailed understanding of pharmacy businesses, we know that buying or selling a pharmacy business is not like other corporate transaction and can help and protect you every step of the way.
We also support pharmacists and pharmacy owners with a range of other legal issues, including:
- property (including health centre developments, pharmacy leases and planning applications and appeals)
- tax (personal and corporate, including retirement relief)
- commercial (all forms of commercial contracts)
- litigation (civil, commercial and criminal)
- employment (contracts, locum agreements and dispute resolution)
- intellectual property (both contentious and non-contentious, including trademarks and patents)
- competition and procurement law (EU and UK)
- data protection and privacy
As the only law firm in the UK with a full team of specialist pharmacy lawyers, we know the UK pharmacy sector inside out.
We work alongside individual pharmacists, independent pharmacies, local and national multiples, digital healthcare providers, representative bodies and international healthcare businesses.
