Sarah Coyne Provides Insight to Milwaukee TV Station on Possible Impact for Wisconsin Hospitals of New FTC Restriction on Noncompetes
Sarah Coyne, a Madison-based partner in the Quarles & Brady Health & Life Sciences Practice Group, shared her insight with Milwaukee’s WDJT CBS-58 about what a new Federal Trade Commission (FTC) rule significantly limiting the use of noncompete agreements might mean for Wisconsin hospitals.
An excerpt from the print version of the story:
Sarah Coyne, a health law attorney at Quarles and Brady, believes if the rule is enforced, it wouldn't impact most hospitals in Wisconsin because the FTC rules do not apply to non-profit companies.
However, there's still a sizable share of physicians between 37% and 45% who are impacted by noncompetes, according to the American Medical Association.
Critics believe noncompetes could hamper an already fractured health care industry and lead workers to leave the profession or relocate.
