Katherine Perrelli to Present Bloomberg Law Webinar "From Proposal to Practice: Analyzing the FTC’s Final Noncompete Rule"

Seyfarth Partner Katherine Perrelli will present Bloomberg Law webinar "From Proposal to Practice: Analyzing the FTC’s Final Noncompete Rule" on May 9. 

Description

The Federal Trade Commission’s January 5, 2023, Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to Ban Noncompete Clauses unleashed a torrent of reactions from practitioners, academia, and others, both positive and negative. Considering some of the roughly 26,000 comment letters received from interested parties, the FTC voted to release its final noncompete rule on April 23, 2024, with only minor changes from its original proposal.

This webinar, intended for attorneys and other professionals who regularly advise on noncompetition clauses, will highlight the differences between the proposed and final rules; discuss implications for employers and employees in several markets; compare state noncompete developments with the FTC rule; analyze likely challenges to the new rulemaking; and provide guidance and suggested best practices for corporate practitioners going forward. 

Learning Objectives include:

• Understand the substantive provisions of the FTC’s final noncompete rule and significant differences from the proposed rule and rationale therefor.
• Steps counsel can take to assist clients to fully comply with the final rule.
• Discuss strategies and issues to consider when drafting enforceable alternative trade secret and confidential information agreements.
