Mohamed Nabulsi, Esq., Chair of the Healthcare Practice Group at Mandelbaum Barrett PC, shared insights in a recent article in Part B News regarding the FTC’s proposed labor-market rule, which could significantly curtail noncompete agreements for physicians if enacted. Nabulsi suggests that this rule might disrupt traditional labor markets, empowering many employees as “free agents” and potentially leading to enhanced bargaining power for better compensation and terms, including the possibility of joining a competitor. He anticipates that corporate-owned practices, possessing greater resources, could gain an advantage from the rule, potentially igniting poaching conflicts between physician-owned and corporate practices.
