Request Engagement AssessmentAcquisition Stars advises buyers and sellers on veterinary practice attorney matters across Arkansas. Alex Lubyansky leads every engagement, bringing 15+ years of M&A experience to transactions of varying complexity, from lower-middle-market deals to multi-party structures. Arkansas enforces non-compete agreements but will not blue-pencil overbroad provisions. Overbroad agreements are voided entirely, making precise drafting critical. The state has a graduated corporate income tax. Whether you are acquiring a business, selling a company you have built, or navigating a complex transaction, the firm's approach is the same: senior M&A counsel leading the deal from the first draft through closing.
Share the basics. Alex reviews every inquiry personally and responds within one business day.

Enforceable but no blue-pencil doctrine. Overbroad agreements are voided entirely.
Enforceable under Arkansas Code Section 4-75-101. Courts use a reasonableness test, considering whether the agreement protects legitimate interests and is reasonable in time, geography, and scope. Arkansas courts will not blue-pencil or reform overbroad agreements. They will instead void the entire covenant.
Arkansas imposes a corporate income tax with graduated rates up to 5.3%. Asset purchases allow a stepped-up basis for state depreciation. The state also imposes a sales tax on certain asset transfers. Arkansas does not conform to all federal tax provisions, so buyers should verify the state treatment of installment sales and Section 338(h)(10) elections.
Entity mergers and conversions require filing with the Arkansas Secretary of State. A Certificate of Good Standing from the seller's entity is typically required. Businesses holding professional licenses must file separate transfer or re-application paperwork with the relevant licensing board.
Arkansas has repealed UCC Article 6 (Bulk Sales). Buyers should request a tax clearance certificate from the Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration before closing an asset transaction to avoid successor liability for unpaid sales and use taxes.
