A webinar presented by Thompson Hine LLP

On Tuesday, April 23, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) issued its <a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__http:/links.thompsonhine.mkt4194.com/els/v2/wdRPspkLwVsN/ZEpyU051dDJqS0loWW90NDB4KzRXQURYbHJCU0J0WmM0djN5d3lybEUvZDg5RUwwRXRTdm93MnowKzNZNjlxdWowOFRxVU82YUNlSW1uaExqZUdDblRWQlRpRWlQVjlwVnFhK1R2ZXpvMWs9S0/__;!!OdqygGz-7UHvSw!tLNNdSBxvh4pijFPmLDitLgV-FK_IbzJS9JaMxxpKbmwC8izvQWj15penCnm0F5OrqGkJjvadhiHfPm6G86fOKyola3XmDI$" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">final rule</a> on noncompetition agreements, essentially prohibiting all employers from using such agreements. The rule, slated to take effect on or about August 21, 2024, not only bars employers from entering into new noncompetition agreements but also voids existing ones. Business groups have already started filing lawsuits to block the rule, alleging that the FTC does not have the constitutional authority to issue it. As business groups contest the rule in court, employers are left navigating a precarious landscape in safeguarding their interests. Join Thompson Hine lawyers, <a href="https://www.thompsonhine.com/professionals/deborah-s-brenneman/">Debbie Brenneman</a> and <a href="https://www.thompsonhine.com/professionals/brittany-mallow/">Brittany Mallow</a> as they address this evolving topic.
