Abstract

On January 9, 2020, the FTC held a workshop on non-compete clauses. Professor Pierce wrote this article for a journal that is published in London primarily lawyers and economists in the UK and the EU. He describes the powerful evidence that supports the need for the FTC to take some action to reduce the growing trend to include non-compete clauses in many employment contracts and the difficult task the FTC faces in deciding how to address that problem.
