A Knock Out Punch or Much to Do About Nothing? A Discussion of the FTC's Proposed Non-Compete Ban

On January 5, 2023, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) to ban the use of non-compete covenants throughout the country.  The proposed rule, which would supersede all contrary state laws, is remarkable in its scope, including its sweeping definition of "non-compete clauses" that fall within the ban and its potential retroactive impact.
