Description

This course will review the Federal Trade Commission's proposed rule banning non-competes and the impact it could have on the insurance industry, where non-competes with brokers are common. It will also briefly go over the rule making process and timeline for the proposed rule to go into effect. In the second half, the presentation will review the patchwork quilt of state laws that have curtailed enforcement of non-competes, as well as best practices for insurance agencies to consider when implementing non-competes with their key producers.
