Disputes

Occasional disputes are an unfortunate feature of being in business. We understand that it is not always in a client’s best interest to enter full blown litigation and try to work with both sides to reach a solution.

That said, if no acceptable alternative resolution can be found, we fight our client’s corner vigorously and often find that our deep understanding of the pharmacy regulations and our extensive network of other experts (such as accountants and surveyors) allows us to outmanoeuvre the opposing side, who often lack this broader understanding. This undoubtedly contributes to our enviable track record of success in employment tribunals, arbitrations, GPhC and court hearings.

Recent work includes:

1. Pharmacy licence disputes
2. Partnership disputes - often highly complex and frequently become very personal. We seek to ensure that disputes are settled in a way which protects your business and its customers and minimises cost
3. Contractual disputes – contesting termination, variation and other disputes through the GPhC
4. Employment disputes – advice on unfair and constructive dismissal, discrimination and equal opportunities, bullying and harassment, discipline and grievance, defending ET claims, as well as bringing and defending discrimination claims between partners
