Restrictive Covenants and the FTC’s Non-Compete Rule: The Current State of Play and Preparing for the Future for In-House Counsel

Given the prevalence of restrictive covenants in business today, and the frequently changing regulatory framework, understanding the state of the law is pivotal to safeguarding your company’s competitive edge, its most sensitive information, and its investment in innovation.

Join us on Wednesday, September 11, at 12pm ET / 9am PT for a discussion of the current state of restrictive covenant law and the FTC’s non-compete ban. Wilson Sonsini Partners Jess Krannich, Maureen Ohlhausen, and Marina Tsatalis will discuss the evolving state of restrictive covenant law in various key jurisdictions and the status and implications of the FTC’s non-compete ban.

Key points of discussion will include:

• a detailed review of restrictive covenant law, including the FTC’s proposed ban on non-compete agreements, along with the current status of legal challenges to its validity;
• an emphasis on the organizational impacts of the evolving law in this area, including in company-to-company agreements and mergers and acquisitions; and
• strategic guidance for using restrictive covenants in the current landscape, including preemptive steps to address the potential need to comply with the FTC’s ban.
