Counsel for businesses and professionals in this sector, across Ontario.
KLF has developed a focused practice serving healthcare businesses and regulated professionals across Ontario. Healthcare businesses operate within a regulatory environment that directly affects how they can be owned, structured, and transferred. Owners and practitioners in this sector require counsel who understands both the legal requirements and the practical dimensions of healthcare businesses.
KLF is regularly retained by pharmacy consolidators, independent pharmacies, dental practices, veterinary practices, medical clinics, and individual healthcare professionals including physicians, dentists, pharmacists, and veterinarians. We act on both transactional and contentious matters arising in these businesses and practices.
The purchase and sale of healthcare practices and businesses require attention to regulatory constraints on ownership, due diligence on regulatory standing and compliance, and the structuring of transactions to satisfy the requirements of the relevant regulatory bodies. KLF acts on acquisitions and dispositions of pharmacy businesses, dental practices, veterinary practices, and medical clinics.
Healthcare professionals are frequently required to structure their practices through professional corporations, partnerships, or other arrangements that comply with regulatory requirements. KLF advises on the establishment and restructuring of professional corporations, partnership arrangements, and ownership structures in the healthcare sector.
Ownership disputes in healthcare practices can threaten not only the legal interests of the parties but the ongoing operation of the practice itself. KLF acts in shareholder and partnership disputes in healthcare businesses with an appreciation for the regulatory context and the practical need to preserve ongoing operations where possible.
KLF acts for regulated healthcare professionals facing professional negligence claims and regulatory investigations or discipline proceedings. These matters carry significant professional and financial consequences, and clients benefit from counsel with experience in both the civil and regulatory dimensions.
