Featuring Nicole Walker, Associate Attorney, Platt Richmond PLLC
Join us for an in-depth exploration of the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) ban on noncompete agreements.

Legal expert, Nicole Walker, will offer valuable insights into the legal, economic, and strategic dimensions of this ban. Whether you're a business leader, legal professional, policymaker, or simply interested in the evolving landscape of competition law, this event promises to provide a comprehensive understanding of the implications and opportunities arising from this regulatory shift.
