FTC's Noncompete Rule: What It Means and Next Steps - McDermott Will & Emery

FTC’s Final Noncompete Rule: What It Means and Next Steps for Employers

Overview


On April 23, 2024, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) voted to issue a rule that will prevent all employers from using noncompete clauses after the effective date (120 days from publication in the Federal Register).

What is considered a noncompete agreement under the Final Rule? How does the Final Rule differ from the proposed rule that was issued in January 2023? Is the FTC able to enforce a noncompete ban? What is the legal basis for challenging the Final Rule? And what should employers do next?

Join our multidisciplinary team of employment, antitrust, and government and regulatory litigation lawyers for a webinar that will shed light on these questions and more.

Discussion topics will include:

  • An in-depth look at the impact the Final Rule will have on your current noncompete agreements
  • A comparison of the Final Rule’s implications for senior executives versus other workers
  • A review of how the Final Rule impacts employees during a sale of business
  • The legal issues around enforcing a noncompete ban and ensuing litigation

Minimum continuing legal education (MCLE) credit is pending in California, Illinois and New York. A Multi-Jurisdiction Certificate of Attendance will be made available to participants requesting MCLE credit in all other jurisdictions, depending upon that state’s rules. To be eligible to earn a CLE certificate, you must attend the entire program. Credit for partial attendance will not be provided.
