What happens when a practice unknowingly hires a physician with a noncompete?

Author(s):

If a practice unknowingly hires a physician with a noncompete agreement, how much risk is on the practice, and does firing the physician remove that risk?

The FTC banned noncompete agreements nationwide, but that decision is being challenged in court. But regardless of the outcome of the case, noncompete agreements can be complex and practices must use them with caution, while also being careful to make sure new employees do not have a noncompete agreement with another organization.

Medical Economics spoke with Emma Schuering, JD, of the Polsinelli law firm, to learn more about the current status of noncompetes and what practices need to know about them.
