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. Florida has no personal income tax, making it one of the more tax-efficient states for business sale proceeds. Florida also enforces non-compete agreements under one of the strongest statutory frameworks in the country. 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.

Strongly enforced under statutory framework (Section 542.335). Hardship to employee not considered.
Florida has one of the strongest non-compete enforcement frameworks in the country under Florida Statute Section 542.335. Courts presume reasonable any restraint of six months or less, apply a rebuttable presumption of reasonableness for restraints up to two years, and presume unreasonable any restraint exceeding two years. Courts may not consider the hardship to the restricted party when deciding enforceability. Blue-penciling and reformation are expressly authorized.
Florida imposes a 5.5% corporate income tax but has no personal income tax. This makes Florida particularly attractive for S-corp and LLC acquisitions, as pass-through income to Florida-resident owners avoids state income taxation. Asset purchases benefit from Florida's favorable treatment of intangible property (no intangible tax since 2007).
Entity mergers, conversions, and dissolutions require filing with the Florida Division of Corporations (Sunbiz). Bulk asset purchasers must obtain a clearance letter from the Department of Revenue. Professional license transfers require separate filings with the Department of Business and Professional Regulation.
Florida has repealed UCC Article 6 (Bulk Sales). However, Florida Statute Section 212.10 imposes successor liability on buyers of business assets for the seller's unpaid sales tax. Buyers must request a tax clearance letter from the Florida Department of Revenue. Closing without a clearance letter exposes the buyer to the seller's tax debt, up to the purchase price.

Look for an attorney with genuine transaction experience, not just corporate formation work. Verify that the attorney has handled deals similar in size and structure to yours. In Florida, confirm the attorney understands state-specific issues including Florida's non-compete framework, successor liability rules, and any industry-specific regulations. At Acquisition Stars, Alex Lubyansky personally handles every engagement, which means you get direct access to the same attorney from letter of intent through closing.
