Companies in Florida may want to revise noncompete agreements made with highly compensated employees to take advantage of provisions in Florida’s new noncompete law, which took effect July 1.
The CHOICE Act (HB1219) allows Florida employers to enforce noncompete agreements that last up to four years, and makes it much easier for employers to obtain injunctions against employees who sign them, according to a July 7 blog post from the National Law Review.
