Pharmacy

If you are a pharmacist or pharmacy owner in Australia who is:

• buying or selling a pharmacy business;
• entering into a new lease or amending your existing lease;
• experiencing issues with your employees;
• looking to obtain a new pharmacy approval;
• objecting to a proposed pharmacy approval;
• entering into a new partnership or making changes to an existing partnership arrangement, 

you’ve come to the right place! 

Working with the pharmacy industry is what we do best.  In addition to our work on individual matters, we are also very pleased to be able to offer pharmacists a wide range of educational blog posts and resources via our online shop.

Our experience in helping pharmacy businesses

We are well known in both the healthcare and legal industry for our expertise in pharmacy business matters.  Our director, Sarah Stoddart, has over 15 years’ experience working with pharmacy owners and pharmacy groups, and even some experience as a pharmacy assistant herself!

We work closely with pharmacy business brokers, healthcare bankers and experienced pharmacy accountants to achieve the best outcomes for our clients.  

Sarah is a fantastic solicitor to work with! I have worked with Sarah on many, many pharmacy business transactions, on both the buy and the sell side. She is very experienced, practical, efficient and goes above and beyond to get the job done. I would definitely recommend Sarah to any potential pharmacy seller or buyer!

We understand the highs and lows of pharmacy ownership.  We know what it is like to embark on the pharmacy ownership journey or to sell one of your biggest assets.  We also know what it feels like to receive a large bundle of documents from a landlord and not know where to start.  We also understand that a potential restructure or navigating a new law is daunting.  

We know your business and your challenges.  We also know we can give you peace of mind and clear pathways to help solve those challenges.

One of our recent pharmacist clients who completed the purchase of their first pharmacy business had this to say about us:

I’m very grateful to have had you in my corner through all of this, and I’d like to thank you for your attention to detail, and for being so efficient and patient throughout the entire process. It’s certainly made our lives so much easier given the complexity of these things, and I couldn’t recommend your services enough.

Others, who sold their pharmacy businesses after many, many years on the frontline said:

Thank you for your intelligent, guiding advice and support throughout the process.  It is congratulations to us all as we move through this chapter. 

Sarah, thank you.  Hands down one of the most pragmatic and punctual solicitors I’ve worked with.  You will definitely be getting my recommendations!

To say it is our pleasure to assist pharmacists with their business transactions is an understatement.  It’s our passion. 

We love the uniqueness and nuances of pharmacy businesses and that we can use our deep knowledge of the healthcare industry to provide our clients with ongoing support.

Our experience beyond pharmacy transactions

We help pharmacy owners who are growing their team, introducing new partners, changing the size of their business and getting approvals for new locations.

We regularly assist pharmacists with employment law matters, preparing ownership agreements (such as partnership agreements or shareholders agreements) and improving their business practices.

We are also have significant experience in making applications to both the Australian Community Pharmacy Authority and the  Minister for Health for exercise of ministerial discretion.  We know the process, as well as practical tips and tricks to give our clients the best chance of success!

Our extensive experience with pharmacy matters means that our clients are confident they are getting the best advice to achieve the best outcomes possible for their pharmacy business.
