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. Michigan businesses often operate in manufacturing, automotive supply chain, and healthcare, each with distinct regulatory considerations. Michigan enforces non-compete agreements subject to a reasonableness standard and allows blue-pencil modification. 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. ### Michigan Transaction Considerations - Michigan's automotive industry creates unique M&A considerations, including complex supply chain contracts, UAW labor agreements, and environmental liabilities at manufacturing sites - Michigan's Antitrust Reform Act provides a statutory framework for non-competes that differs from the common-law approaches of neighboring states - Michigan Renaissance Zone benefits (tax-free zones) may be relevant to acquisitions of businesses operating in designated areas ### Discuss Your Michigan Transaction Share the basics. Alex reviews every inquiry and responds within one business day. ## Michigan Legal Framework for Veterinary Practice Acquisition Law ### Non-Compete Agreements Enforceable under statutory framework (MARA). Reformation available. Enforceable under the Michigan Antitrust Reform Act (MARA), MCL 445.774a. Non-competes must be reasonable in duration, geographic area, and type of activity. Michigan courts apply the "rule of reasonableness" and may reform overbroad covenants. Typical enforceable periods are 1-3 years depending on the circumstances. ### Tax Considerations Michigan imposes a 6% Corporate Income Tax (CIT) on C-corporations. Pass-through entities are generally not subject to entity-level tax. Michigan uses a single sales factor apportionment formula with market-based sourcing. The state repealed its Michigan Business Tax in 2012 and replaced it with the simpler CIT. ### Filing Requirements Entity mergers and conversions are filed with the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA), Corporations Division. Annual reports are required. Certain regulated industries require separate filings. ### Bulk Sales / Asset Purchases Michigan has repealed UCC Article 6 (Bulk Sales). The Michigan Department of Treasury can impose successor liability on asset purchasers for the seller's unpaid taxes. Buyers should request a tax clearance letter before closing. ## Veterinary Practice Attorney in Michigan: Frequently Asked Questions ### Does Acquisition Stars handle veterinary practice acquisition law matters throughout Michigan?
