Navigating the New FTC Rule on Noncompetes
Join Cassandra Jacobsen of Cozen O’Connor for an educational program tailored specifically for in-house counsel dealing with the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) new rule that bans nearly all noncompete agreements. This session will delve into the FTC’s historical stance on noncompetes (spoiler alert: virtually nonexistent until the past few years), provide a comprehensive analysis of the FTC’s new rule, and examine the ongoing legal challenges and their potential effects on enforcement and compliance timelines. Learn about strategic adjustments in-house counsel can implement to ensure adherence to the new rule while safeguarding your organization’s business interests.
