The 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!

Troutman Pepper’s Appellate + Supreme Court practice will discuss the most important cases from the U.S. Supreme Court in the current term, including cert petitions to watch, constitutional law, elections, administrative agencies, labor & employment, business associations, intellectual property, and securities.  The ACC Georgia Chapter welcomes Troutman Pepper, whose presenters, Justice Harold Melton, Misha Tseytlin, and Elizabeth Holt Andrews will provide an overview of what you can expect to see at the top of the news and discuss key litigation shaping the national dialogue this year.

CLE credit of 1.0 hour is being applied for and, if approved, will be submitted to the State Bar of Georgia for attendees licensed to practice in Georgia.

Attendance is limited to ACC members and their invited in-house counsel guests, as well as prospective ACC members. ACC membership is open to attorneys who practice law as in-house counsel employees of organizations and who do not hold themselves out to the public for the practice of law.
