Ken Griffin-Backed Florida Bill for Non-Competes Becomes Law

Florida enacted legislation allowing non-competes of up to four years, handing a victory to Citadel’s Ken Griffin, who pushed for the policy.

Labor lawyers say it’s one of the most employer-friendly policies in the country. It also goes in the opposite direction of many states, which have been trying to rein in or ban non-competes. The law’s supporters say it protects trade secrets and will help attract high-paying employers to Florida.
