Healthcare Acquisition Attorney Practice in Oregon

Acquisition Stars advises buyers and sellers on healthcare acquisition attorney matters across Oregon. 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. Oregon restricts non-compete agreements to employees earning at or above the median family income, with a maximum duration of 12 months. Oregon imposes a corporate activity tax (CAT) in addition to a corporate excise tax, which affects deal structure. 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.

Oregon Transaction Considerations

  • Oregon has no sales tax, eliminating successor sales tax liability risks and simplifying asset purchase mechanics
  • Oregon's Corporate Activity Tax (CAT), enacted in 2019, is a gross receipts tax that applies in addition to the corporate excise tax, creating a dual tax burden that differs from most states
  • Oregon's strong environmental regulations (DEQ oversight) can create significant due diligence requirements for acquisitions involving manufacturing or natural resource businesses

Oregon Legal Framework for Healthcare M&A Legal Services

Non-Compete Agreements

Restricted by role, income threshold, and 12-month maximum. Sale-of-business exception.

Restricted under ORS 653.295 (amended effective January 1, 2022). Non-competes are limited to employees who are engaged in administrative, executive, or professional roles and earn above the state median household income (approximately $76,000). The maximum duration is 12 months. Employers must inform employees of the non-compete terms at least two weeks before the start of employment or upon a bona fide advancement. Non-competes in connection with the sale of a business are exempt.

Tax Considerations

Oregon imposes a corporate excise tax with a minimum tax based on Oregon sales (ranging from $150 to $100,000) plus a 6.6% rate on the first $1 million of taxable income and 7.6% above $1 million. Oregon has no sales tax, which eliminates successor sales tax liability in asset purchases. The Corporate Activity Tax (CAT) adds a 0.57% tax on gross receipts over $1 million.

Filing Requirements

Entity mergers and conversions must be filed with the Oregon Secretary of State. Annual reports are required. The absence of sales tax simplifies asset purchase filings. The Department of Revenue handles CAT registration and compliance.

Bulk Sales / Asset Purchases

Oregon has repealed UCC Article 6 (Bulk Sales). The Oregon Department of Revenue may impose successor liability on asset purchasers for the seller's unpaid taxes. Oregon Revised Statutes Section 305.620 provides for tax liens that follow assets.
