NY Attorney General settles non‑compete investigations with Law360 and Jimmy John’s over low‑level employee clauses

NY Attorney General settles non‑compete investigations with Law360 and Jimmy John’s over low‑level employee clauses The passage documents recent AG enforcement actions against two companies for unlawful non‑compete clauses. While it provides concrete names, settlement outcomes, and legal rationale, it involves mid‑level corporate actors rather than top‑tier political figures. The lead is useful for tracking regulatory trends and potential future litigation but lacks high‑impact controversy or novel revelations about powerful officials. Key insights: NY AG used Executive Law § 63(12) to deem non‑competes for rank‑and‑file staff ‘unconscionable.’; Law360 agreed to limit non‑competes to senior executives only.; Jimmy John’s franchisees must inform workers that two‑year, two‑mile non‑competes are void.
