DESCRIPTION

BREAKING NEWS! Join us as we welcome Chase Howard for an impromptu bonus episode to discuss the recent news surrounding the FTC and non-compete agreements. 

 

TAKEAWAYS

• The FTC is attempting to ban non-compete agreements, which could have a significant impact on the dentistry industry.
• Existing non-compete agreements will still be enforceable until the employee leaves the practice.
• Non-solicitation agreements may become more important for protecting patient and staff retention.
• The ban does not apply to the sale of practices or certain high-level executives.
• Dentists should consider revisiting their associate agreements and focusing on other protections such as training costs, non-disclosure agreements, and protecting intellectual property.
