RESTRICTIVE GOVERNMENT? – The FTC yesterday proposed a rule banning noncompete clauses in employment contracts—and it goes pretty hard. FTC Commissioner Lina Khan called non-competitive unfair to workers and said eliminating the restriction would raise wages and encourage competition. But, as Law.com’s Maria Dinzeo reports, critics have argued that the proposal goes way overboard and is likely to trigger a ton of unintended consequences. “The FTC is swinging for the fences,” said Clifford Atlas, a principal at the law firm Jackson Lewis and co-leader of its restrictive covenants. “It’s going to be a process; there’s going to be a comment period. Will there be changes to the rule? I don’t know. Will there be legal challenges? Absolutely.”
