Is This The End Of Non-Competes?04/29/2024
On April 23, 2024, the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) approved its final rule banning non-compete agreements, with some exceptions. The FTC ruled that the use of non-compete agreements is an “unfair method of competition” in violation of Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act (“FTC Act”).

The final rule, which becomes effective 120 days after the date of publication in the Federal Register, effectively bans all existing and future non-compete agreements for all types of workers, with exceptions described below.
