Florida’s CHOICE Act: A New Direction for Non-Compete Agreements

In this episode, AGG Employment partners Ashley Kelly and Theresa Kananen explore Florida’s CHOICE Act, new legislation that takes a distinctly different approach to non-compete agreements.While most states have recently moved to restrict or ban non-competes, Florida has made them easier to enforce under specific conditions. Ashley and Theresa break down what the law means for employers, including which employees and agreements are covered, the expanded time limit, and the law’s mandatory injunctive relief provisions.They also share guidance for employers seeking to update their restrictive covenant agreements and explain how existing non-competes will be treated under the state's new legal framework.
