A webinar presented by Thompson Hine LLP

The FTC is poised to issue a new rule early next year ending or significantly restricting noncompetition agreements. Even if noncompetes survive the final FTC rule, there is a growing list of state laws prohibiting or restricting their use. A company’s most protected information, processes, and relationships could be at risk if key employees can no longer be prevented from going to work for a direct competitor.

Join Debbie Brenneman and Brittany Mallow as they examine the potential impact of and legal challenges to the proposed rule, analyze the new state laws, and outline actions employers can take to overhaul existing agreements and implement trade secret protections to best protect their interests by alternative means.
