Lavelle Law News and Events
On April 23, 2024, the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”), in a 3-2 vote, issued its final Non-Compete Clause Rule (“Rule”) which prohibits noncompete clauses in agreements between employees and their workers. This highly anticipated Rule follows a substantially similar proposed rule from the FTC released on January 19, 2023. The Rule will not become effective until 120 days after publication in the Federal Register, and covered employers will be required to comply with the Rule by that effective date, which could come as early as August of this year. By the FTC’s estimate, this ban could affect up to one in five American workers.

They lay out ways in which legal fees may become the responsibility of one party in a lawsuit. In this video, Lavelle Law Associates Jodie Upchurch and MaryAllison Mahacek discuss ways that these provisions should be included in contracts and how they can be used advantageously.
