Understanding Non-Competition Clauses
Non-competition clauses, also known as non-competes, are legal agreements that restrict employees from engaging in competitive activities against their employers after their employment period ends. These clauses aim to protect the business’s sensitive information and market position by preventing former employees from transferring critical insights to competitors or starting a competing business.
The New FTC Rule on Non-Competes
Recently, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) issued a rule that significantly changed the regulatory framework for non-compete agreements. Under this new rule, non-competes are generally banned, with a focus on promoting worker mobility and preventing unfair competition practices. However, there are exceptions, particularly for senior executives who might have a deeper impact on a company’s strategic direction.
Understanding California’s Non-Compete Agreement Regulations
California laws are notably strict on non-compete agreements, generally prohibiting their enforcement to ensure free movement and innovation among the workforce. Our firm provides expert guidance to navigate these complex regulations.

Customer Reviews
This law firm was extremely helpful and successful in my case. In a matter of 7 months they were able to settle my case! Joshua, Ariella, Vedang, and Iona were my attorneys and Aaron were extremely helpful in my case, always responsive and helped with any questions I had about my case. I was turned down by a few other law firms but this law firm took me seriously and won! I’m very satisfied with all of their services.
They will always answer your calls and call you with updates to keep you informed. I had the pleasure of working with many of them and they are all great individuals. Bibiyan Law Group won two of the two cases I had with them and I’m pretty happy with them. I would recommend you give them a call.
Super nice people. I opened a case with them and it took a while like most cases do but they made it very easy for me. I basically just told them what happened and they handled everything until the case closed while updating me in between and answering questions if I had any. Thank you!
Bibiyan Law Group was by far a great choice to make for my wrongful termination lawsuit. They kept me in the loop with all the details and supported me along the way until I received my settlement. Thank you for everything. Would recommend!
