Show Notes


The Dental Amigos are back! Rob and Paul discuss recent developments in the dentistry world regarding the prohibition of covenants not to compete in the employment context by the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”). This federal non-compete ban by the FTC has been controversial spurring lawsuits that challenge the constitutionality of the ban, resulting in a court order that stopped the FTC from enforcing the ban. The FTC is considering an appeal. While some states have banned non-competes within their states, the prohibition on a federal level remains controversial and will continue to play out. With most associate agreements containing non-competes that prevent dentists from providing competing services within a specified geographic area both during an associate’s employment and for a period of time after leaving employment, this issue is getting a lot of attention in the dental world. The Amigos discuss the value of a non-compete, the limitations that a non-compete ban would impose, as well as the impact that a ban would have on the greater economy. The Amigos also discuss what’s happening with DSOs.
