An Update on Non-Competition Agreements: Do Non-Competes Have a Future?
Description:
For years employers have utilized covenants, including non-competition provisions, to protect confidential information, customer relationships, and investments in specialized training to prevent unfair competition by former employees. In recent years, state law governing non-competes has evolved. Some states through legislation have made non-competes enforceable subject to certain time and geographic restrictions while others have placed significant restrictions on their use. In January 2023, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) proposed a Rule to Ban Non-Competes. This program, presented by Greg Grisham of Fisher Phillips, will review recent developments in non-compete law and consider the FTC’s Proposed Rule and its implications for companies.
