Third Thursday: Non-Competes and Other Restrictive Covenants – The Current State of Play and Future Considerations

Webinar | 05.16.24, 12:00 PM EDT - 1:00 PM EDT

Address

Virtual

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.

Terminations, Stop Work Orders, and De-Scopes – The Latest Updates and Recovery Opportunities for USAID Contractors and Grant Recipients

In 2025, the U.S. Government’s policy statements and Executive Orders have had far-reaching impacts for government contractors and grant recipients. Although terminations, stop work orders, and de-scopes have affected private companies, non-profits, and universities doing business across multiple agencies, the U.S. Government’s policies relating to the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has caused particular confusion and uncertainty relating to performance, compliance, and contractual procedure. Key questions have included the potential impacts of official and less formal communications from the U.S. Government, procedural issues arising from the move of certain functions to the U.S. Department of State, and the effect of various pending litigations. As businesses and organizations plan for 2026, the importance of preserving their rights and maximizing potential recovery opportunities remains paramount.
