The latest legal update from our US team considers the FTC’s ‘Final Rule’ on non-compete clauses in the US.
The Final Rule introduces significant changes to non-compete clauses as it provides that, with respect to most workers, it is an “unfair method of competition” for an employer to:
- Enter into or try to enter into an non-compete clause
- enforce or try to enforce a clause of non-competition;
- A worker’s non-compete clause is implied by the statement.
