Please join us for the next edition of Third Thursday – Crowell & Moring’s Labor and Employment Update, a webinar series dedicated to helping our clients stay on top of developing law and emerging compliance issues.

On April 23, 2024, the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) voted to adopt a final rule that, when it becomes effective, will ban most existing and future non-compete agreements with employees and independent contractors.  The FTC Non-Compete Rule is just the latest of many efforts in national forums and state legislatures to restrict post-employment restrictive covenants.

During this webinar, our panelists will examine the final FTC Non-Compete Rule, pending challenges that may delay or thwart enforcement of the Rule, and other recent developments in state and federal law that impact restrictive covenants.  We will also discuss practical considerations for employers when assessing their current restrictive covenant agreements, deciding whether to enter into new restrictive covenants in the future, and evaluating the enforceability of restrictive covenants between new employees and their former employers.

But that does not tell the entire story. The Administration remains committed to exercising a heavy hand in AI, including by banning the U.S. government’s procurement of so-called “woke AI,” intervening in the development of data centers and the export of the AI technology stack, imposing an export fee for certain semiconductors to China, and assuming a stake in a U.S. semiconductor company. State legislatures are also racing to implement their own regulations, particularly around AI’s use in critical areas, such as healthcare, labor and employment, and data privacy. The many sources of regulation raise the specter of a fragmented compliance environment for businesses. This webinar will delve into the Administration’s AI strategy, going beyond the headlines to analyze:...
