Our Process

A structured, methodical approach to healthcare m&a legal services

1

Regulatory Landscape Assessment

We map the state-specific regulatory path for your transaction, including CON requirements, CPOM posture, AG review triggers, and provider number transfer mechanics before any term sheet is signed.

2

Healthcare-Focused Due Diligence

Managing Partner Alex Lubyansky leads diligence across payor contracts, Medicare and Medicaid enrollment, Stark and AKS exposure, HIPAA posture, licensure, and compliance program maturity to surface deal risks early.

3

Structuring and MSO Design

We structure the deal to respect CPOM limits, optimize tax and liability treatment, and, where needed, design MSO or friendly-PC arrangements that preserve clinical independence and protect the economic deal.

4

Negotiation and Regulatory Filings

We negotiate the purchase agreement, ancillary documents, and transition services agreement while coordinating CON filings, AG notifications, payor consents, and CHOW applications on a closing-driven timeline.

5

Closing and Clinical Continuity

We manage closing logistics, provider number transitions, and post-closing integration items so patient care, billing, and payor reimbursement continue without disruption.

Questions to Ask Any M&A Attorney Before Hiring

Use these before you call any firm, including ours.

1. "Who will actually handle my transaction?"

At many firms, a partner sells the work and a junior associate does it. Ask for the name of the attorney who will draft and negotiate your documents.

2. "How many M&A transactions has the lead attorney closed in the past 12 months?"

Volume indicates current, active deal experience, not just credentials from years ago.

3. "What is your experience with my deal size and industry?"

A $500K SBA acquisition and a $50M PE deal require different skill sets. Make sure the attorney has handled transactions similar to yours.

4. "Will you coordinate with my CPA, financial advisor, and broker?"

M&A transactions require a team. Your attorney should work with your other advisors, not in a silo.

5. "How do you handle post-closing disputes?"

Reps, warranties, and indemnification claims surface months after closing. Ask whether the firm handles post-closing litigation or refers it out.

6. "What is your fee structure, and what drives cost?"

Hourly, flat fee, or hybrid. Ask what factors increase legal costs so there are no surprises.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from Brownsburg clients

What does a healthcare acquisition attorney do?
A healthcare acquisition attorney handles the legal and regulatory side of buying or selling a healthcare business. That includes CON review, CPOM compliance, Stark and Anti-Kickback diligence, Medicare and Medicaid provider transitions, payor contract transfers, and the purchase agreement itself. Managing Partner Alex Lubyansky leads every Acquisition Stars healthcare transaction personally.
Do I need CON approval to acquire a healthcare business?
It depends on the state, the type of facility, and the scope of services. Some states require Certificate of Need approval for hospital, ASC, nursing home, or imaging transactions, while others have repealed CON entirely. We assess the CON picture in the first conversation so you know the timeline and regulatory path before signing a letter of intent.
How does Corporate Practice of Medicine (CPOM) affect the deal?
CPOM rules restrict who can own medical practices and how non-physicians can share in clinical revenue. In strong CPOM states, buyers typically use MSO or friendly-PC structures to acquire the business side of a practice while leaving clinical ownership with licensed physicians. We design structures that hold up under state scrutiny and still deliver the economic deal you negotiated.
What happens to payor contracts and provider numbers at closing?
Payor contracts and Medicare and Medicaid provider numbers generally do not transfer automatically. Depending on structure, the buyer may need to pursue a change of ownership filing, recredentialing, or new enrollments, which affects cash flow in the months after closing. We build the plan for provider number continuity into the transaction timeline so reimbursement does not stall.
How is Acquisition Stars different from a general M&A firm on healthcare deals?
Healthcare deals combine standard M&A risk with a second layer of regulatory risk that can sink an otherwise clean transaction. Managing Partner Alex Lubyansky leads every healthcare deal personally, coordinating CON, CPOM, Stark and AKS, HIPAA, and payor issues alongside the commercial negotiation, with the responsiveness of a boutique firm rather than the layered staffing of a large practice.
What can I expect during an initial consultation in Brownsburg?
During your confidential initial consultation in Brownsburg, we'll discuss your healthcare m&a legal services needs, review your current situation, assess potential challenges specific to Indiana, and outline a clear path forward.

M&A Market: Brownsburg & the Indianapolis Metro

Indianapolis is a major center for life sciences and pharmaceutical M&A, anchored by Eli Lilly's massive presence and a network of contract research organizations, medical device companies, and health tech startups. The city's logistics sector, fueled by its position as the 'Crossroads of America' with more interstate highways than any other U.S. city, generates significant deal activity in trucking, warehousing, and supply chain services. Motorsports engineering and agribusiness round out a distinctive mid-market M&A landscape.

Top M&A Sectors Near Brownsburg

  • Life Sciences & Pharmaceuticals
  • Logistics & Transportation
  • Insurance & Financial Services
  • Agribusiness & Food Processing
  • Healthcare IT & SaaS

Deal Environment

Indianapolis offers robust deal flow in the $2M-$25M range, with many family-owned logistics and manufacturing businesses approaching generational transitions. The market is moderately competitive, with local firms like Hammond Kennedy Whitney and Centerfield Capital competing for quality deals alongside national PE platforms building Midwest portfolios.

Why Acquire in the Indianapolis Area

Indiana's pro-business tax environment, including no tax on inventory for manufacturers and distributors, makes Indianapolis acquisitions financially attractive from day one. The metro's central location enables next-day ground shipping to 75% of the U.S. population, a compelling logistics advantage for distribution-oriented roll-ups.

Indiana Legal Considerations

Indiana has adopted the Revised Uniform Limited Liability Company Act with business-friendly provisions, and the state's non-compete law was updated in 2016 to require employers to provide independent consideration for existing employees, which directly affects workforce retention assumptions in acquisition models.

Indiana Legal Considerations for Healthcare M&A Legal Services

Non-Compete Laws

Enforceable with blue-pencil modification. Physician non-competes restricted.

Filing Requirements

Entity mergers and conversions require filing with the Indiana Secretary of State, Business Services Division. Annual business entity reports are required. Regulated industry acquisitions (gaming, utilities, insurance) require separate agency approvals.

Key Indiana Considerations

  • Indiana's gaming industry is heavily regulated by the Indiana Gaming Commission, which must approve any change of control of a gaming license holder
  • Indiana's low corporate income tax rate (4.9%) and lack of a separate franchise tax make it a cost-effective jurisdiction for certain deal structures
  • Indiana law restricts physician non-competes, which is particularly relevant for healthcare practice acquisitions

Alex Lubyansky, Managing Partner at Acquisition Stars
"Healthcare acquisitions require a second layer of diligence most deals don't. Stark, Anti-Kickback, state licensure, corporate practice of medicine, payor contracts. Miss any of them and you've bought a compliance problem instead of a practice."
