This week, on a special episode of our Spilling Secrets podcast series, we break down the Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC’s) purported nationwide non-compete ban and discuss what’s on the horizon for employers.
FTC Nixes Non-Competes Nationwide—Now What?
On April 23, 2024, the FTC announced its final rule banning virtually all non-compete agreements nationwide. Employers across the nation are looking for answers.
In this episode of Spilling Secrets, Epstein Becker Green attorneys Peter A. Steinmeyer and Erik W. Weibust lay out the details of the ban, the legal challenges already underway,* and the actions employers should be taking.
*EBG is representing amici in one legal challenge: the U.S. Chamber of Commerce litigation.
