The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has issued a new ruling (as of May 2024) regarding the enforceability of non-compete agreements. This ruling will impact every business, regardless of industry, so attorney Darshan Kulkarni joins M&A Talk to discuss the legal and economic implications of this controversial decision. He highlights how employers and attorneys can handle this situation, discusses the potential effects on employees and the legal hurdles still to come, and offers advice for business owners and sellers.
“This [non-compete ruling] fundamentally goes to the question of workers’ rights, but it also goes to a business’s right to exist and protect its own interests.”
