Partner Greg Care was quoted on how the 2024 Presidential election results could impact the FTC’s rule banning most employment non-compete clauses in several media outlets, including Legal Dive – whose story was also picked up by Yahoo Finance – Radio Ink Magazine, Daily Dot, and employment agency Staffing Industry Analysts.
The Legal Dive and Yahoo Finance posts quoted Greg as a legal authority throughout their article about the FTC rule. The article shared Greg’s thoughts on how the incoming Trump administration could block the non-compete rule. “The non-compete rule is vulnerable,” Greg said, as shared in his recent blog post about the FTC rule.
Radio Ink Magazine echoed Greg’s analysis from the fourth installment of his “Legal Developments Impacting Employment” blog series. “Greg Care, partner at Brown Goldstein & Levy, suggested that appointing a new FTC chair aligned with Republican commissioners Melissa Holyoak and Andrew Ferguson could lead to repealing or modifying the rule,” Radio Ink Magazine said in its article. “Care also noted that a repeal would require time-consuming federal rulemaking procedures.”
An article by Daily Dot discussed Jeffrey Wall, who served as acting solicitor general for the last six months of the first Trump Administration, and his work to nullify the ban on non-competes after rotating out of government. Greg told the Daily Dot that Wall’s efforts will help FTC Chair Andrew Ferguson and the FTC under the Trump Administration to bury the non-compete measure.
“I think the first most likely scenario would be for the FTC to pull the plug on the appeals that they are currently pursuing in order to try to resuscitate the non-compete rule,” Greg said, quoted in the article, also noting that the Commission could also repeal the rule entirely.
Staffing Industry Analysts also discussed Greg’s blog post as an anchor of its article about how the FTC ban could fizzle under the new Trump Administration. The story quoted Greg’s blog post in which he shared his thoughts about the future of the FTC rule. “Spoiler alert: Things look bleak for the rule’s supporters,” Greg said.
