The US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has proposed a ban on non-competition covenants in employment agreements. This would have a significant impact on senior executives and founders, and their businesses, in the USA and around the world.
Join our expert international panel for ‘The Rise and Demise of the Non-Compete?’ on Monday 27 February 2023, at 5-6 PM GMT as they discuss the specifics of the FTC proposal and consider the consequences for:
- Executives around the world who are working for US headquartered businesses or under US employment contracts
- Individuals who participate in US and global incentive plans with good/bad leaver provisions conditioned on compliance with non-competition provisions
- Founders who are subject to a non-competition clause as part of the terms of sale of their stake in the business
The panel will also look at how other jurisdictions which have already banned non-competition clauses have fared in balancing the protections for businesses (including for their confidential information) and their departing senior executives and founders.
