Nebraska Legal Framework for Medical Practice Acquisition Law

Non-Compete Agreements

Enforceable but no reformation. Overbroad covenants are void entirely.

Enforceable under common law if reasonable. Nebraska courts apply a strict approach and will not reform overbroad covenants. If any provision of a non-compete is unreasonable, the entire covenant is void (similar to Arkansas). This makes precise drafting critical for Nebraska non-competes.

Tax Considerations

Nebraska imposes a graduated corporate income tax at 5.58% (first $100,000) and 7.25% (over $100,000), though rates are being phased down under recent legislation. The state uses single-factor sales apportionment. Nebraska's property tax is among the highest in the nation, which affects real property-heavy acquisitions.

Filing Requirements

Entity mergers and conversions must be filed with the Nebraska Secretary of State. Bulk sales compliance requires 45-day advance creditor notice. Biennial reports are required for all Nebraska entities.

Bulk Sales / Asset Purchases

Nebraska retains a version of UCC Article 6 (Bulk Sales) under Nebraska UCC Section 6-101 et seq. Buyers of business assets in bulk must comply with notice requirements. The transferee must give notice to all creditors of the transferor at least 45 days before the transfer date.
