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.

Rethinking "the Administrative State" - Takeaways From the Supreme Court's 2025–26 Term

The Supreme Court's 2025–26 term took up several momentous cases that will influence and, in key respects, reorient constitutional separation-of-powers principles moving forward. Join the D.C. Bar Administrative Law and Agency Practice Community for a discussion of the key takeaways from the Supreme Court's 2025-26 term. This panel will examine decisions addressing the scope of executive branch authority, including cases involving tariffs issued under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act and the removal of leaders of so-called independent agencies. The discussion will also address significant orders issued on the Court's emergency docket and what these decisions and orders signal about the distinct roles the three branches of federal government play in shaping the administrative state.
