Request Engagement AssessmentAcquisition Stars advises buyers and sellers on sell my business lawyer matters across Virginia. 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. Virginia substantially restricted non-competes in 2020 for low-wage workers, and in 2022 extended protections further. Virginia imposes a corporate income tax at 6% and has its own securities law (the Virginia Securities Act). 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.

Restricted by income threshold. Strict blue-pencil (no reformation).
Restricted under the Virginia Non-compete Restriction Act (effective July 1, 2020, amended 2023). Non-competes are prohibited for low-wage employees (earning less than the state's average weekly wage, approximately $1,343/week in 2024, or $69,836 annually). For employees above the threshold, standard reasonableness requirements apply. Virginia courts apply a strict blue-pencil rule, striking unreasonable provisions without reformation.
Virginia imposes a 6% corporate income tax. The state uses a double-weighted sales factor apportionment formula. Virginia conforms to most federal tax provisions but has a fixed-date conformity, meaning it does not automatically adopt federal tax changes. This can create differences between federal and Virginia treatment in the year of a transaction.
Entity mergers and conversions require filing with the Virginia State Corporation Commission (SCC). Annual reports (annual registration fees) are required. The SCC also regulates certain types of business entities more actively than most states.
Virginia has repealed UCC Article 6 (Bulk Sales). Virginia Code Section 58.1-1802 allows the Department of Taxation to impose successor liability on asset purchasers for the seller's unpaid taxes. A tax clearance should be obtained before closing.

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 Virginia, confirm the attorney understands state-specific issues including Virginia'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.
