About the Webinar

Based upon the split in the Federal Courts, it is now likely that the FTC’s ban on noncompetition agreements will go into effect at least in some sections of the United States.  At a minimum, employers must prepare for this distinct possibility and how to navigate what may become a confusing patchwork of inconsistent rulings exposing some employers (and not others) to  the possibility that restricted employees with access to proprietary information may now become fair game for direct competitors.  During this special briefing we will discuss:

• The scope of the ban, where it may remain in effect, and what it covers

• Affirmative actions required by the ban

• Available protections in the event the ban applies to your business

• How to prevent competitors from hiring key employees
