As readers of this blog already know, the Federal Trade Commission issued a final rule banning the use of most employee noncompetes throughout the United States. It’s estimated that this new rule will impact at least 30 million employment contracts, including even confidentiality agreements and other forms of employee restrictive covenants. Several lawsuits, including one by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, have already been filed challenging that rule.
My partner Chris Tackett and I will be providing a 30-minute webinar on Monday, April 29, 2024 at noon ET to provide guidance to employers and business owners on what they can expect in the near future. In-house counsel, human resources professionals and senior executives will learn the specifics of the rule, who is affected by the rule, and steps they can take now to protect their trade secrets and customer relationships.
