On the Future of Noncompetes

Welcome to AccelPro Employment Law, where we provide expert interviews and coaching to accelerate your professional development.

Today we talk about the future of noncompete agreements. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) voted to ban them in April 2024, but are they really dead? That’s the question everyone is asking, and we put it to Stewart Schwab, a former Cornell Law School Dean who, in his 40 years as a professor, has taught and spoken on this topic frequently.

Schwab believes the Supreme Court will ultimately rule that the FTC overstepped its bounds in banning noncompetes. In the meantime, he advises companies to rethink how they use noncompete agreements.
