extremePosted on
New law firm leaders often tell me they operate in a bewildering environment where little is certain, the tempo is fast, and the dynamics are far more complex.

Here are some that pop up again and again. Thinking this appointment is about you when it’s all…

Final FTC Rule on Non-Competing Not Expected Before April 2024

Posted on
According to Bloomberg, The Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) is not expected to vote on the final version of a new rule that would ban non-compete clauses in employment contracts until April 2024. The rule defines a “non-compete clause” as “ a contractual term between an employer and a worker that prevents the worker from seeking or accepting employment with a person, or operating a business, after the conclusion of the worker’s employment with the employer.” As we previously reported, the proposed rule would ban employers from imposing noncompete agreements on their employees.

Minnesota Takes Step Toward Banning Non-Competes

Posted on
It is no secret that political winds are blowing against the practice of employers requiring certain employees to sign non-competition agreements, as demonstrated most saliently earlier this year when the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) introduced its proposed rule that would ban non- competes nationwide, with retroactive effect. While thousands of comments have been submitted to the FTC regarding that proposed rule (and the comment period is scheduled to close this week), legislators in many states have been busy introducing legislation that would ban or limit the use of non-competes.

The complaint by reporter Jay Solomon also does not show that Dechert was responsible for the harm he faced, the firm said. Solomon, who recently became an editor at the news startup Semafor, sued…
