Request Engagement AssessmentAcquisition Stars advises buyers and sellers on healthcare acquisition attorney matters across Minnesota. 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. Minnesota banned non-compete agreements for most employees effective January 1, 2023. Existing agreements are not automatically voided, but new restrictions signed after that date are void. The ban applies to Minnesota employees regardless of choice-of-law provisions. 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 entirely (effective July 2023). Sale-of-business exception for 25%+ owners.
Banned effective July 1, 2023. Minnesota Statutes Section 181.988 voids all non-compete agreements entered into after July 1, 2023, with a narrow exception for the sale of a business (where the restricted party has an ownership interest of at least 25%). Non-solicitation and confidentiality agreements remain enforceable.
Minnesota imposes a 9.8% corporate franchise tax, one of the highest in the country. The state uses mandatory combined reporting for unitary groups, single-factor sales apportionment, and market-based sourcing. The high rate significantly affects deal structure and often drives structuring to minimize Minnesota-sourced income.
Entity mergers and conversions are filed with the Minnesota Secretary of State. Annual renewals are required. The Department of Revenue requires tax clearance for asset purchases. Regulated industries (insurance, banking, utilities) require separate approvals.
Minnesota has repealed UCC Article 6 (Bulk Sales). Minnesota Statute Section 270C.58 requires buyers of business assets to withhold a sufficient amount of the purchase price to cover the seller's unpaid state taxes, unless a tax clearance certificate is obtained from the Minnesota Department of Revenue.
