Specialist Pharmacy Lawyers for Sales, Acquisitions, and Legal Advisory

At Rubric Law, we work closely with pharmacists, pharmacy owners, and corporate groups across the full spectrum of legal needs in the pharmacy sector. Our pharmacy lawyers combine deep sector knowledge with practical commercial advice to support transactions, operations, and compliance across all types of pharmacy businesses.

We have extensive experience advising on the sale and acquisition of pharmacies, including standalone NHS pharmacies, independent multiples, and large-scale group disposals. Our work in this area is closely linked to our expertise in M&A, where structuring, due diligence, and regulatory approval are often complex and time-sensitive. We act for both buyers and sellers, ensuring each transaction is delivered smoothly and with full legal protection.

When handling pharmacy M&A transactions, we manage all aspects of the deal. This includes carrying out due diligence on key contracts, employment liabilities, and property arrangements, while also advising on GPhC registration, NHS contract transfers, and change of ownership notifications. In multi-site or corporate pharmacy transactions, our ability to manage volume and complexity makes us a trusted legal partner.

Beyond M&A, our pharmacy solicitors support clients with ongoing operational matters. This includes drafting partnership agreements, handling shareholder disputes, advising on property leases, and navigating supplier contracts. We also offer specialist employment law advice, particularly where staffing structures are impacted by acquisitions, restructures, or TUPE obligations.

Pharmacies are subject to tight regulatory oversight, and our team is well-versed in advising on GPhC matters, NHS frameworks, and business ownership rules. Whether you are incorporating a pharmacy, joining a buying group, or looking to expand, we ensure your legal position is secure and aligned with commercial objectives.

As a full-service law firm, Rubric Law offers integrated legal expertise across corporate, employment, property, and commercial law, meaning we are well positioned to support every aspect of your pharmacy business. Our joined-up approach is particularly valuable during transactions, where we bring together the right experts to deliver results without delay or duplication.

Whether you are buying, selling, growing, or restructuring, our pharmacy lawyers provide clear, sector-specific legal support that helps you make confident decisions and achieve your business goals.
