Points of attendance
In April XNUMX, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) voted in favor of a Final Rule that would ban nearly all forms of non-compete agreements with employees, subject to limited exceptions. Since that time, at least three major lawsuits have challenged the Rule. One such lawsuit has already resulted in blocking the Rule from taking effect. Ultimately, it is probable that the issue will be resolved at the appellate level and potentially before the U.S. Supreme Court. In this seminar, the panel of Akerman's experts with extensive experience and deep expertise in the relevant fields will explain the Rule, the recent developments and prospect of any appeals. The panel will also discuss how the result of the upcoming presidential election could affect the destination of the Rule and what Japanese companies should be mindful of with employee non-compete agreements in operating and acquiring U.S. companies.
