Pharmacies are responsible for ensuring an adequate supply of medicines to the public, as required in the public interest.

The fundamental principle set forth in Section 1(1) of the Pharmacy Act gives rise to a whole series of duties and restrictions that pharmacists must observe in the practice of their profession.

Restrictions on branch locations, the prohibition on third-party ownership, corporate law, and real estate and tenancy law are all issues that play a role in operating a pharmacy—and in your day-to-day work, do you deal with pharmaceutical law, labor law, competition law, and the law governing the advertising of medicinal products?

We have extensive expertise in all of these areas and can help. Whether it’s a partnership agreement, a real estate sale, or a competition law assessment of your own advertising or that of your competitors—we’re here to support you. We’ll discuss the approach, options, and risks with you and work together to find the best path to achieving your goals.

Even when things get serious, we’re here for you. With our litigation experience, we stand by your side during crises—whether in civil litigation, competition disputes, professional association proceedings, or criminal proceedings.
