Request Engagement AssessmentAcquisition Stars advises buyers and sellers on franchise acquisition lawyer matters across Oregon. 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. Oregon restricts non-compete agreements to employees earning at or above the median family income, with a maximum duration of 12 months. Oregon imposes a corporate activity tax (CAT) in addition to a corporate excise tax, which affects deal structure. 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.

Restricted by role, income threshold, and 12-month maximum. Sale-of-business exception.
Restricted under ORS 653.295 (amended effective January 1, 2022). Non-competes are limited to employees who are engaged in administrative, executive, or professional roles and earn above the state median household income (approximately $76,000). The maximum duration is 12 months. Employers must inform employees of the non-compete terms at least two weeks before the start of employment or upon a bona fide advancement. Non-competes in connection with the sale of a business are exempt.
Oregon imposes a corporate excise tax with a minimum tax based on Oregon sales (ranging from $150 to $100,000) plus a 6.6% rate on the first $1 million of taxable income and 7.6% above $1 million. Oregon has no sales tax, which eliminates successor sales tax liability in asset purchases. The Corporate Activity Tax (CAT) adds a 0.57% tax on gross receipts over $1 million.
Entity mergers and conversions must be filed with the Oregon Secretary of State. Annual reports are required. The absence of sales tax simplifies asset purchase filings. The Department of Revenue handles CAT registration and compliance.
Oregon has repealed UCC Article 6 (Bulk Sales). The Oregon Department of Revenue may impose successor liability on asset purchasers for the seller's unpaid taxes. Oregon Revised Statutes Section 305.620 provides for tax liens that follow assets.
