Partner Kevin B. Goldstein was quoted in a recent The New York Times article discussing a Texas judge’s ruling backing challenges to the FTC’s non-compete ban, and what employers can do to protect their interests when workers depart. https://bit.ly/4bGbuAo

The Federal Trade Commission has voted to ban these agreements nationwide. Did you know that non-compete agreements affect 1 in 5 Americans, dictating how freely they can switch roles? Beyond allowing Americans the chance to work where and when they want, this decision could potentially boost wages by $488 billion in the next 10 years and promote fair competition. Federal Trade Commission Chair Lina Khan shares that noncompete agreements stop workers from switching jobs, even when they could earn more money or have better working conditions. This is a step in the right direction towards ensuring economic liberty and promoting freedom. https://lnkd.in/gKRG633m

The Federal Trade Commission's proposed ban on non-compete agreements has been temporarily halted by a federal judge. This delay stems from legal challenges questioning the FTC's authority and the economic impact of such a ban. With millions of workers potentially affected, businesses should monitor developments and prepare for possible changes. How would the ban on non-competes impact your organization’s workforce strategy? #NonCompete #FederalTradeCommission #HRCompliance #EmploymentLaw https://lnkd.in/g7Bmwgsr

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) voted 3-2 on Tuesday to ban noncompete agreements. What does this mean for employers? If this rule goes into effect it means employers would have to throw out existing noncompete agreements for most employees. While there may be exemptions for certain senior executives, it's impact on employers of all sizes would be significant. Various pro-business groups are expected to take legal action to stop the ban. We will be watching this closely in the days and weeks to come. Jeff Toppel Laura A. Bianchi Justin M.

Topic # 5 - What are the grey areas under the Final Rule? Takeaway #1 - To state the obvious, is this thing going to get thrown out by the Courts?? Takeaway #2 - As discussed earlier, the Rule does not invalidate non-solicitation, non-recruitment, and nondisclosure agreements, unless they "function" as non-competes. Fertile ground for fact specific litigation. Takeaway #3 - What impact will the Rule have on the economy? There are two drastically different views on this. As an example, consider this: to justify the sweeping ban, the FTC cites small business owners who applaud the Rule and believe that it will make start-ups more competitive. On the other hand, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce argues that small business will be eaten up and all their employees will be poached by the bigger fish without protection via restrictive covenant. Who is right? Probably both, probably neither? Takeaway #4 - For sales, mergers, and acquisitions, there is no requirement that there be a substantial percentage of ownership involved in the transaction. To address commenters’ concerns that employers will use sham transactions, stock-transfer schemes or other mechanisms designed to evade the Rule, the Final Rule requires that, to fall under the exemption, a non-compete must be entered into pursuant to a bona fide sale. What is a bona fide sale? Let's litigate and find out. Takeaway #5 - When is the Rule effective? 120 days after publishing in the Federal Register. Well, this is no longer a gray area. Yay!! The Final Rule will be effective September 4, 2024. Of course, unless a Court stays it, which is a very likely scenario.
The Federal Trade Commission voted 3-2 on Tuesday to ban essentially all noncompete agreements that employers impose on workers. Under the new rule, existing noncompetes with senior executives can remain in effect but future noncompetes for top corporate officials will also be banned.

NEW YORK NON-COMPETE BAN UPDATE: Governor Hochul made what we believe are her first public statements on the bill passed by the NY State Legislature in June, which would ban most non-compete agreements in New York. She suggested a need need for balance: protecting low and middle-income workers while considering the interests of high-earning sectors. With a potential $250k/year wage floor, New York's approach could set new precedent. See more details in the attached blog post that my colleagues Allan Bloom, Steven Pearlman, Daryl Leon, and I prepared. #RestrictiveCovenant, #NonCompeteAgreements, #EmployeeMobility
