PLEASE NOTE:  Following the recording of this podcast, the Federal Trade Commission issued a rule banning non-competition agreements in for-profit businesses with an exception for existing non-competition agreements for executive employees. The new rule will become effective 120 days after the FTC publishes it in the Federal Register. It is likely that this rule will be challenged in court.  Please consult with an attorney regarding the effectiveness of any existing non-compete agreement.
