The Federal Trade Commission’s proposed rule banning non-compete agreements between employers and workers has met with considerable support and just as much opposition. Proposed on Jan. 5, 2023, a vote on a final rule not anticipated until Spring 2024.

Will all of the challenges to the rule result in a substantially different final version? Why has the FTC chosen now? Who is contesting the rule and what are some of the challenges it raises? What does it mean for employers and other entities today? What impact might the rule have on litigation?

Listen to my interview with Andreya DiMarco, attorney with the Hatfield Schwartz Law Group LLC, as we explore the nuances of the proposed rule as well as the legal and practical impact it will have if it is adopted.

Andreya focuses her practice on employment law and transactional matters. She is well versed in the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination, the New Jersey Civil Rights Act, and the Conscientious Employee Protection Act, and has represented clients in federal court, state court, and before administrative agencies including the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the New Jersey Division of Civil Rights. She also advises clients on a variety of aspects of employment law and compliance, and provides training and policy drafting. Andreya received her J.D. from NYU School of Law.
