The Professionals Practice Group at Siskinds has extensive experience dealing with many different legal issues that pharmacists may face throughout their careers. We understand that each stage of a pharmacist’s career will attract different legal needs and considerations. The needs of a newer pharmacist may be different than those of a pharmacist who is nearing retirement from his or her practice. As busy professionals, pharmacists may experience rapid change as their careers and personal circumstances advance. Our experience in advising pharmacists on a variety of legal issues allows us to offer a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary suite of services tailored to assist pharmacists throughout their personal lives, their career, and into retirement.
The specific legal services that we provide, which are tailored to pharmacists, include:
- incorporating, organizing, and maintaining a professional corporation

- corporate reorganization and restructuring
- purchase and sale of pharmaceutical practices
- partnership, cost-sharing, and shareholder agreements

Professional Corporations
Incorporating a pharmacy professional corporation can bring significant advantages. We work directly with tax advisors and accountants to ensure the most appropriate corporate structure is established in order to achieve long term goals.
Purchase and Sale of a Practice
A pharmacy practice is one of the most valuable assets a pharmacist may own and the decision to sell or purchase a practice is significant. There are many considerations that should be made with respect to the sale or purchase of a practice and we work closely with clients and their advisors to identify the most appropriate strategies to achieve the goals of our client.
Estate Planning for Professionals
As you progress in your career, your estate plan may become more complex. Dual Wills may be used to protect certain eligible assets from estate and administration tax.
