Request Engagement AssessmentAcquisition Stars advises buyers and sellers on healthcare acquisition attorney matters across District of Columbia. 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. The District of Columbia enacted a near-total ban on non-compete agreements effective October 1, 2022. The ban applies to most employees earning below $150,000 per year. DC also has its own securities registration requirements. 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.

Banned for nearly all workers. Sale-of-business exception applies.
The DC Ban on Non-Compete Agreements Amendment Act of 2020 (effective October 1, 2022) bans non-compete agreements for nearly all DC employees, with a narrow exception for highly compensated medical specialists earning over $250,000 annually. The ban does not apply to non-competes signed in connection with the sale of a business.
DC imposes a corporate franchise tax at 8.25% on DC-sourced income. The district uses a three-factor apportionment formula (sales, property, payroll) with double-weighted sales. DC also imposes an unincorporated business franchise tax on pass-through entities. There is no estate tax reciprocity with surrounding states.
Entity mergers and formations require filing with the DC Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs (now Department of Licensing and Consumer Protection). Businesses operating in regulated sectors (insurance, banking, healthcare) need separate approvals from the relevant DC agency.
The District of Columbia has repealed UCC Article 6 (Bulk Sales). DC's Office of Tax and Revenue may impose successor liability on buyers of business assets for the seller's unpaid taxes. Obtaining a tax clearance certificate before closing is recommended.
