Request Engagement AssessmentAcquisition Stars advises buyers and sellers on franchise acquisition lawyer matters across Louisiana. Alex Lubyansky handles every engagement personally, bringing 15+ years of M&A experience to transactions of varying complexity, from lower-middle-market deals to multi-party structures. Louisiana has one of the most restrictive non-compete frameworks in the South, permitting restrictions only in specified areas (parishes) and for maximum two-year duration under a specific statute. Overbroad agreements are voided, not blue-penciled. Whether you are acquiring a business, selling a company you have built, or navigating a complex transaction, the firm's approach is the same: one experienced attorney on every deal, no handoffs to junior associates.
Share the basics. Alex reviews every inquiry personally and responds within one business day.
