Companies That Use Noncompetites Face Increased Risk of Government Action Following FTC’s Unilateral Expansion of Its Enforcement Powers

Maybe we were wrong. Or perhaps we were just not thinking creatively enough. After President Biden issued his “Executive Order on Promoting Competition in the American Economy,” in which he “encourage[d]” the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to “consider” exercising its statutory rulemaking authority “to curtail the unfair use of non-compete clauses and other clauses or agreements that may unfairly limit worker mobility,” we assumed that Lina Khan, the 33- year-old Biden-appointed Chair of the FTC (and a vocal opponent of non-competes), would take the torch and propose a Rule prohibiting, or at the very least severely limiting, the use of …

Pinkerton Tobacco v. Kretek Int’l: Defendant’s Statute of Limitations Argument Goes Up in Smoke
