Navigating the FTC’s New Rule on Noncompetition Agreements

Thompson Hine LLP

We invite you to an informative webinar on the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) new rule on noncompetition agreements. The rule, set to take effect on September 4, 2024, significantly impacts employers by prohibiting new noncompetition agreements and voiding existing ones, with limited exceptions. Several court rulings have addressed the FTC's authority to issue the rule and the potential for injunctions. To date, no court has blocked the rule nationwide, so it is prudent to begin preparing for its enforcement.

Join Thompson Hine lawyers, Debbie Brenneman and Brittany Mallow, as they provide practical advice and insights on how to prepare for and navigate this significant regulatory change. This webinar will cover:

• Insights into the final rule's requirements
• Permissible restrictive covenants under the new rule
• Ongoing legal challenges, recent court rulings and their implications
• Strategies for compliance and preparing
• required notifications
