Nuts and Bolts of Non-Competes in California (2026 Edition)

Rachel Green of Katz Banks Kumin, will review foundational legal limitations of non-competes and related restrictive covenants and demonstrate how California is one of the most protective jurisdictions in the country for workers and workplace mobility. The program will also cover recent state and federal legislative and administrative updates, from AB 692 to the FTC’s retraction from the Biden-era nationwide ban on non-competes, and what it all means for California practitioners. Participants will gain practical tools needed for advising employees seeking to challenge restrictive covenants and awareness of the employee perspective, valuable for those advising employers crafting restrictive covenants.
