The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has implemented a new rule banning non-compete agreements, which has significant implications for mergers and acquisitions, private equity transactions, and individual worker agreements in various industries, including healthcare. Additionally, Maryland has banned non-compete agreements for certain healthcare professionals. This landmark decision aims to foster a more competitive labor market and reduce antitrust concerns. Legal challenges to the ban have already emerged, and companies that currently rely on non-competes should closely monitor developments. The rule is seen as a major victory for workers, preventing employers from restricting employees' mobility and ability to seek better opportunities or start their own businesses.
