Healthcare Acquisition Attorney Practice in Connecticut

Acquisition Stars advises buyers and sellers on healthcare acquisition attorney matters across Connecticut. 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. Connecticut has its own set of business transaction laws and tax considerations that affect how acquisitions and sales are structured. 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.

Connecticut Transaction Considerations

  • Connecticut's pass-through entity tax (PET) can significantly affect the after-tax cost of acquiring S-corps or LLCs with Connecticut income
  • The state's combined unitary reporting requirements mean buyers must analyze the seller's entire affiliated group to understand the true state tax posture
  • Connecticut imposes an estate tax with a $13.61 million exemption (2024), which can affect succession-driven M&A transactions for family-owned businesses

Connecticut Legal Framework for Healthcare M&A Legal Services

Non-Compete Agreements

Enforceable with five-factor reasonableness test. Blue-pencil available.

Enforceable under common law if reasonable in time (generally 1-2 years), geographic scope, and activity restricted. Connecticut courts apply a five-factor test from the Torrington Creamery case line. Courts have discretion to blue-pencil overbroad covenants.

Tax Considerations

Connecticut imposes a 7.5% corporate business tax. The state also levies a 6.99% pass-through entity tax (PET) that may affect deal structure for S-corp and LLC acquisitions. Connecticut requires combined unitary reporting for affiliated groups, which can complicate multi-entity transactions.

Filing Requirements

Mergers and entity conversions must be filed with the Connecticut Secretary of the State. The Department of Revenue Services requires notification of bulk asset transfers. Businesses holding state professional licenses must notify the relevant licensing authority.

Bulk Sales / Asset Purchases

Connecticut has repealed UCC Article 6. However, Connecticut General Statutes Section 12-424 imposes successor liability on buyers of business assets for unpaid sales and use taxes. Buyers should obtain a tax clearance letter from the Department of Revenue Services before closing.
