Overview (Program Summary)
A program hosted by:
ACC GeorgiaThe Federal Trade Commission issued a proposed rule that would broadly ban the use of noncompete agreements between employers and their workers. In addition, the FTC is cracking down on companies that are abusing noncompetes, including filing complaints against companies requiring low-wage workers to sign noncompetes. This proposed rule further casts the spotlight on noncompetes, which were already under assault by state legislators around the country. The ACC Georgia Chapter welcomes Berman Fink Van Horn P.C. whose attorneys, Benjamin Fink and Neal Weinrich, will present “The FTC Proposed Ban On Noncompetes: What You Need To Do Now.” This presentation will discuss the implications of the FTC’s proposed rule, the likelihood it will be implemented, what challenges the rule may face, as well as the status of state-level efforts around the country to regulate the use of noncompetes. Come learn everything you need to know to protect the competitive edge of your company!
