Now that the Federal Trade Commission has issued a final rule banning nearly all preexisting and future noncompete agreements, what should employers do now, particularly given that the rule has been challenged in court? 

Join us for the third program in our Workplace Wakeup series as we explain what to consider regarding noncompetes to protect your business in the current enforcement climate. 

We'll dig into state-specific prohibitions and limitations and explore strategies and alternatives that can help secure your trade secrets and confidential information. 

We’ll dive deep into the FTC rule and what to expect, including the current court cases challenging the rule, and an examination of the following:

• What does the final rule entail?
• When does it go into effect?
• What is the status of the court challenges?
• What exceptions apply in the context of a sale or purchase of a business?
• What are the exceptions related to health care issues?
• What are the exemptions for nonprofit organizations?
• How do independent contractors and others get included?
