Healthcare Acquisition Attorney Practice in Colorado

Acquisition Stars advises buyers and sellers on healthcare acquisition attorney matters across Colorado. 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. Colorado substantially restricted non-competes in 2022, requiring income thresholds and limiting scope. The law applies to agreements signed after August 10, 2022, and violations may result in criminal penalties for employers. 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.

Colorado Transaction Considerations

  • Colorado's legalized cannabis industry creates unique M&A considerations, as state-licensed cannabis businesses cannot be acquired by entities with certain disqualifying ownership or criminal history
  • The Colorado Public Utilities Commission must approve acquisitions of regulated utilities, telecommunications providers, and certain energy companies
  • Colorado's 2022 non-compete reforms require specific notice and disclosure at the time of signing, and violations carry penalties of $5,000 per affected worker

Colorado Legal Framework for Healthcare M&A Legal Services

Non-Compete Agreements

Restricted by salary threshold ($123,750+). Sale-of-business exception applies.

Highly restricted under Colorado Revised Statutes Section 8-2-113 (amended 2022). Non-competes are void unless the restricted party earns above a salary threshold ($123,750 in 2024, adjusted annually). Non-solicitation agreements require a lower threshold ($49,500 in 2024). An exception exists for non-competes in connection with the sale of a business. Employers must provide notice of the covenant in a separate document at or before the time the agreement is signed.

Tax Considerations

Colorado imposes a flat 4.4% corporate income tax based on federal taxable income. The state follows a single-factor sales apportionment formula. Colorado has adopted market-based sourcing for service revenue. Buyers should verify Colorado-specific treatment of Section 338(h)(10) elections and asset step-up provisions.

Filing Requirements

Entity mergers and conversions must be filed with the Colorado Secretary of State. Annual reports are required for all Colorado entities. Businesses operating in regulated industries (cannabis, energy, insurance) require separate approvals.

Bulk Sales / Asset Purchases

Colorado has repealed UCC Article 6 (Bulk Sales). Buyers should still request a tax clearance from the Colorado Department of Revenue, as successor liability for unpaid sales and withholding taxes can attach to asset purchasers.
