About MKLAW

MKLAW is an Ontario law firm that works only with pharmacists and pharmacy owners. It's based in Vaughan, in the Deloitte Building on Applewood Crescent, with a second office on Yonge Street in Toronto. The firm sums up its focus in one line on its own site: pharmacy law is all it does. Its services cover buying and selling pharmacies, pharmacy incorporation, partnership and lease agreements, staff and associate relations, and wills and powers of attorney, all built around the day-to-day legal needs of running a pharmacy business.

For pharmacy purchase and sale deals, the firm describes its negotiators as Harvard-certified, a credential it highlights when it comes to closing a transaction. On the estate side, MKLAW doesn't stop at personal wills. It also prepares corporate wills that set out what happens to a pharmacy and its assets, noting that without one, a pharmacy owner's estate can end up settled by the government rather than by the owner's own wishes. The firm offers flat rate fees and free consultations at both its Vaughan and Toronto offices.

The neighbourhood

MKLAW's main office is in the Deloitte Building at 400 Applewood Crescent in Vaughan, with a second office on Yonge Street in Toronto that gives the firm a meeting point for clients elsewhere in the region.

Because MKLAW's clients are pharmacy owners rather than a single neighbourhood's residents, the firm's flat rate, phone and consultation based way of working matters more here than being close to a courthouse or a transit line.

Frequently asked questions

Does MKLAW only work with pharmacists and pharmacy owners?
Yes. The firm's own site describes its focus in one line, pharmacy law is all it does, and its pages are aimed specifically at Ontario pharmacists and pharmacy owners rather than the general public.

Yes. Buying and selling pharmacies is one of MKLAW's core services, and the firm describes its negotiators as Harvard-certified when it comes to closing a purchase or sale.
Does MKLAW handle pharmacy incorporation?
Yes. The firm helps pharmacy owners incorporate in a way that supports getting a Certificate of Accreditation from the Ontario College of Pharmacists, since mistakes in the process can be costly to fix afterward.
Can MKLAW prepare a will for my pharmacy business?
MKLAW prepares corporate wills that address what happens to a pharmacy and its assets, along with powers of attorney for property and finances and for personal care.
What does MKLAW charge for its services?
The firm uses flat rate fees rather than hourly billing, and it invites pharmacy owners to call or email for a discussion of fees before booking a consultation.
