WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU:
A critical topic for employers and employees – the legality of non-compete agreements – was recently addressed in the latest issue of USLAW Magazine by LLG attorneys Andrea Contreras and Kathy Schill. Earlier this year, the FTC issued a new rule banning non-competes which was scheduled to take effect on September 4th. However, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas blocked the rule by entering a nationwide injunction against it.
Is this the last we will see of legal efforts to ban non-compete agreements? Likely no, as Contreras and Schill explain, which makes now the perfect time for businesses to get ahead of the curve by examining all the tools available to protect themselves against harms related to departing employees.
In their article for USLAW, “Non-Compete Clauses: The Changing Landscape of Managing Competitive Risk,” Contreras and Schill explore what the FTC’s intent and the court’s injunction mean to businesses across the country.
