Not Dead Yet: Why You Need to Know More About Restrictive Covenants Than the FTC Noncompete Rule

Companies seeking to protect their business with post-employment restrictions—in particular, noncompetes and non-solicitation agreements—face ever-increasing regulatory and legislative challenges. The Federal Trade Commission’s broad ban on noncompetes, slated to take effect on September 4, 2024, is surely the most dramatic and headline-grabbing of recent developments. But even if the predictions that the rule won’t survive legal challenge are true, companies will still face a patchwork of state and local laws that significantly limit the use of restrictive covenants. And if a one-size-fits-all approach is no longer tenable, how can a company pursue the most effective strategy for protecting business information and relationships?

Join us, the Kelley Drye Labor and Employment team, as we dive into the evolving legal trends, the best compliance strategies, and the alternative approaches to the use of noncompete agreements.

Whether you are a business owner, HR professional, legal counsel, or corporate executive, this webinar offers essential insights and actionable strategies to help you effectively navigate the evolving regulatory landscape surrounding noncompete agreements.
