Partner Mike Jones is quoted in an Employee Benefits News article about the US Federal Trade Commission’s proposed noncompete ban, which is scheduled for a final vote in April 2024. Mike discussed reasons why some oppose or support the proposal and suggested that companies review their noncompete clauses to ensure compliance with any applicable state laws.
"It's too early to know what the rule is going to include or if there is even going to be a rule," Mike said.
"Take stock of what you have and make sure it's reasonable and protects what your company actually needs it to protect."
