FTC Non-Compete

Maren Graham2023-03-01T23:37:00+00:00March 1st, 2023|

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) declared that non-compete clauses - a section of an employment contract that prevents the employee from working for a competitor or launching a competing business for a certain time after the employee resigns or is terminated - stymie competition, hinder job switching, restrict wages and stifle innovation. As a result, the FTC found that non-compete clauses violate Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act.

A pleasure to engage and work with this firm and specifically Caroline Hecht. Our Estate Planning options were explained thoroughly and in an understandable way. Costs and timelines were outlined and we stayed on track. The professionalism is evident from the first meeting until the delivery of the work product. Highly recommended.

Buckley, Fine has been very responsive, when we needed to complete a transaction within a week! They were on top of all the details, communication was really great! They even caught a couple issues with the contract that we would have missed. We had used Dave Buckley before for our trust and estate planning. Trustworthy, highly intelligent, thorough and fair. I am going to use them for all my needs, no question!

My wife and I have used David Buckley for over 25 years to handle our wills and their updates, the real estate transactions when we down-sized to a new home and other personal needs. He was always knowledgeable, professional, prompt and efficient. He and his staff are top quality.

Linda Fine handled the trust for my Mother and then a few years later, my trust when I married. She made the process very easy both times. I asked a lot of questions and she was patient and thorough with her answers which made me very comfortable. I am glad that I entrusted her with handling my legal needs. I feel confident that there are no loose ends that will give me problems later. I highly recommend her for handling estates and trusts.
