Background

The Governance & Sustainability Center will host a Center Briefing on the Federal Trade Commission’s proposed “Non-Compete Clause Rule” (NCCR).  The FTC’s NCCR would effectively declare non-compete clauses as per se violations of antitrust law and prevent employers from entering non-compete agreements with employees and require firms to rescind existing non-competes.  

The rule, if adopted, would directly affect 20 percent of the US workforce who, according to the FTC, are bound by non-competes.  It could also have a significant impact of companies’ ability to protect against the loss of trade secrets and business relationships that belong to the company, where non-competes are often the first line of defense. 

The Briefing will feature two Partners from Weil, Gotshal & Manges: John Barry, Head of Weil’s Employment Litigation Practice Group, and Jeff Perry, Co-Head of Weil’s U.S. Antitrust/Competition Practice. They will discuss and answer questions on:

  • The scope and terms of the proposed rule
  • The practical impact the rule could have on companies, innovation, and competition
  • The prospects for, and potential challenges to, the rule
  • How companies can weigh in on the rule
  • What companies should do to prepare
  • How the NCCR fits into broader trends in antitrust law and the constellation of investor, regulatory, and employee focus on workers’ rights
