Request Engagement AssessmentAcquisition Stars advises buyers and sellers on healthcare acquisition attorney matters across Ohio. 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. Ohio enforces non-compete agreements under a reasonableness standard with blue-pencil authority. The state has no broad prohibition on non-competes, which provides seller-side flexibility. Ohio's franchise tax was eliminated, simplifying the tax picture for acquisitions. 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.

Enforceable with Raimonde reasonableness test. Reformation available.
Enforceable under common law if reasonable. Ohio courts apply a reasonableness test from the Raimonde v. Van Vlerah case line, considering whether the restriction is no greater than necessary to protect the employer's legitimate interests, does not impose undue hardship, and is not injurious to the public. Courts may reform (blue-pencil) overbroad covenants.
Ohio does not impose a traditional corporate income tax. Instead, it levies the Commercial Activity Tax (CAT), a gross receipts tax of 0.26% on taxable gross receipts over $1 million. The CAT applies regardless of profitability, which significantly affects deal modeling for high-revenue, low-margin businesses. Ohio is phasing down the CAT through 2025.
Entity mergers and conversions must be filed with the Ohio Secretary of State. The Department of Taxation requires tax clearance for asset purchases. Biennial (odd-year) reports are required for domestic corporations.
Ohio has repealed UCC Article 6 (Bulk Sales). Ohio Revised Code Section 5739.16 provides that an asset purchaser may be held liable for the seller's unpaid sales and use taxes if the buyer fails to withhold sufficient funds or obtain a tax release from the Department of Taxation.
