FTC bans all new non-compete clauses and strikes down most existing agreements https://www.geekwire.com/2024/ftc-bans-all-new-non-compete-clauses-and-strikes-down-most-existing-agreements/ {Lisa Stiffler | 23 Apriil 2024} Goodbye, non-competes. The U.S. Federal Trade Commission today released its final rules addressing non-compete clauses by banning all future agreements.
