Money talks (and so should your P&L). This week, the guys are getting fiscal. Conrad and Gyi bring in two heavy hitters. First up, Leah Miller, fractional CFO and Founder of Firmly Profits, sits down with Conrad and Gyi at the PILMMA Super Summit and breaks down what your finances actually say about your marketing. The big (and predictable) surprise? Most firms are undercapitalized and under-measured. She and the guys dig into the real benchmarks: what healthy marketing spend looks like (you're probably low), what KPIs a CFO actually cares about, and why doubling your intake means nothing if your average case value is tanking. Consider this Chapter One. Then, Josh Porte from Holland & Knight demystifies the MSO model in plain English in a conversation recorded at Vista Consulting Team's A Seat at the Table event. If you've been nodding along to private equity conversations while secretly Googling "what is Rule 5.4," it's time to get schooled. Josh walks through how money flows between a law firm and an MSO, where the ethical guardrails actually live, what rollover equity means for sellers, and why the management services agreement you sign today might be with you for the next 20 years. Minimum. Advanced material, but we believe in you. Whether you're running a tight PI shop or eyeing an acquisition, this episode is a masterclass in treating your law firm like the business it actually is.

That's very important.” — Brendan Gallagher (on hiring the right healthcare attorney)“The AI doesn't have to deal with professional rules of conduct that attorneys have to deal with. It's not up to the latest and greatest in the law… This is ridiculous.” — Konstantine G. Paschalidis (on using AI to negotiate contracts)“We need to give back to people to understand and appreciate and listen to professionals and not sort of take it upon themselves to use ChatGPT and any number of TikTok scares.” — Konstantine G. Paschalidis (on trusting trained experts over social media “second opinions”)“When you use ChatGPT your brain turns off… I don't want young attorneys [or young doctors] doing that.” — Konstantine G. Paschalidis (on keeping critical thinking alive)“Get as much practical experience as possible… you'll be drawing on that more than you'll draw on a lot of other things.” — Konstantine G. Paschalidis (advice for residents and new grads — law or dentistry)“Discuss as many of these topics as are important with you and definitely speak to people who are in the field already to get an idea of what issues they had in their first contract. And then that's wisdom, right, from experience. You can't beat that.” — Konstantine G. Paschalidis (on preparing for your first employment contract)“Private practice is much better than residency. Hands down.” — Dr. Brendan Gallagher (on the transition from training to real-world practice)“The original practice is trying to protect legitimate business interest… but you have to ask: does this doctor actually have the ability to inflict any sort of economic harm?” — Konstantine G. Paschalidis (on negotiating fair restrictive covenants)“That's not a signing bonus, that's a stay-on bonus.” — Dr. Brendan Gallagher (on spotting hidden contract tricks)Questions:(02:21) “Any recent updates with law far as employment and in the healthcare space that have kind of raised eyebrows?”(05:35) “Any updates on that restrictive covenant?… what's the current standing?”(10:28) “What's the worst restrictive covenant you've seen?”(19:18) “What would you say is like an average timeline for getting the contract signed?”(20:51) “What are some red flags for contracts… especially for dentists and oral surgeons?”(23:53) “What's a reasonable restrictive covenant for Manhattan vs. Long Island vs. New Jersey?”(28:41) “Is there a difference in behavior and attitude if it's a big corporation, say it's a DSO… versus a smaller practice?”(34:35) “In addition to the term sheet… what would be 2-3 other things that residents should be thinking about before signing a contract?”(40:31) “I want to know how it's going, having moved from residency… to hitting the field now?”Now available on:- Dr. Gallagher's Podcast & YouTube Channel- Dose of Dental Podcast #223My watch in this episode = Tag Heuer Aquaracer Calibre 16 Chrono- 4.2026

What employers should know about key developments this week: FTC Enforcement Shift on Non-Competes: The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) announced it will enforce non-compete agreements on a case-by-case basis, moving away from broad rulemaking. Key Enforcement Priorities: The FTC is prioritizing non-competes in industries with limited access to confidential information and for low-wage, hourly, or entry-level workers. Health Care Industry Scrutiny: The composition of panelists at the FTC's recent workshop—including physicians and veterinarians—suggests the agency will continue focusing on non-competes involving health care professionals. In this episode of Spilling Secrets, Epstein Becker Green attorneys Daniel R. Levy and Gianna Dano break down what the FTC's new approach means for employers, including key enforcement priorities and compliance tips. - Visit our site for this week's Other Highlights and links: https://www.ebglaw.com/eltw427 Download our Wage & Hour Guide for Employers app: https://www.ebglaw.com/wage-hour-guide-for-employers-app. Subscribe to #WorkforceWednesday: https://www.ebglaw.com/eltw-subscribe Visit http://www.EmploymentLawThisWeek.com - Epstein Becker Green is a national law firm that focuses its resources on health care, life sciences, and workforce management solutions, coupled with powerful litigation strategies.

In this episode, Molly and business attorney Bill Burke expose why law firm owners keep making costly legal mistakes — ignoring contracts, misclassifying employees, and skipping proper structure. The firms winning right now aren't guessing. They're protecting. Because vague agreements, outdated documents, and handshake deals will cost you more than you think. If you're ready to protect your firm, reduce risk, and create clarity, this is your wake-up call. Key Takeaways: Verbal agreements and outdated templates don't protect your firm. If expectations aren't clearly defined, you're inviting disputes, unpaid work, and legal risk. Contracts define roles, responsibilities, payments, and outcomes. If it's vague, it will be challenged—precision prevents conflict. What worked when you started won't support your growth. Outdated agreements and structures create unnecessary exposure. Waiting until something breaks is the most expensive way to run your firm. Proactive legal protection is what keeps you profitable, protected, and in control. Quote for the Show: "It's not just about protecting your rights. It's about each party understanding what their legal obligations are." - Bill Burke Links: Website: https://hiringandempowering.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/hiringandempowering Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hiringandempowering LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/hiring&empoweringsolutions/ The Law Firm Admin Bootcamp + Academy™ : https://www.lawfirmadminbootcamp.com/ Get Fix My Boss Book: https://amzn.to/3PCeEhk Ways to Tune In: Amazon Music - https://www.amazon.com/Hiring-and-Empowering-Solutions/dp/B08JJSLJ7N Apple Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hiring-and-empowering-solutions/id1460184599 Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/3oIfsDDnEDDkcumTCygHDH Stitcher - https://www.stitcher.com/show/hiring-and-empowering-solutions YouTube - https://youtu.be/UBiZcwCNxVw

In this episode of Industry & Leadership, Onyx's CEO Greg Newman sits down with barrister Adam Solomon KC to unpack one of the most closely watched employment-law disputes in the commodities trading world.The discussion centres on a highly unusual non-compete case involving illness during a year-long notice period, alleged competitive activity, and the complex interaction between medical evidence, confidential information, and restrictive covenants.Adam explains why this case stood out: the courts were asked to decide whether a company could enforce 12 months of notice plus 12 months of non-compete, effectively keeping an employee out of the market for two years. The episode explores how judges approach questions of illness, memory-based knowledge, confidentiality, and the credibility of competing narratives.Greg and Adam also examine the broader dynamics behind employer-versus-employer disputes, the strategic behaviour of legal teams, and the often-misunderstood role of conduct, regulatory issues, and aggressively obtained evidence in determining outcomes.⏱️ Chapters00:00 – Introduction & Case Background01:27 – Illness, Notice Periods & Covenant Enforcement02:20 – Why This Dispute Was Unusual03:22 – What the Case Was Really About: Business vs Business05:55 – Confidential Information, Memory & Non-Competes07:45 – Judicial Reasoning & Technical Evidence10:12 – Regulatory Concerns, Exchanges & Brokers12:05 – Contrasting Outcomes: Why One Employee Won & One Lost13:48 – Employer Conduct, Ethics & Evidence Gathering20:55 – Strategy, Law Firm Tactics & Litigation Dynamics27:00 – Broader Implications for Non-Competes & the Market32:05 – Costs, Damages & What Would Have Happened on Appeal35:06 – Final Thoughts & Closing Remarks

This week, we're examining the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC's) stance on a federal non-compete ban, the expansive changes introduced by Florida's Contracts Honoring Opportunity, Investment, Confidentiality, and Economic Growth (CHOICE) Act, and a pivotal ruling by the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) on pension withdrawal liabilities. FTC Delays Decision on Non-Compete Rule The FTC requested an additional 60 days to decide if it will continue defending the non-compete ban, suggesting the rule may soon be withdrawn. Florida CHOICE Act Expands Non-Competes Florida's new CHOICE Act now allows non-compete agreements for covered employees to span up to four years, doubling the previous limit. The law also simplifies the process for employers to secure injunctive relief, making Florida one of the most employer-friendly states. SCOTUS to Rule on Pension Withdrawal Liability SCOTUS will decide how pension withdrawal costs are calculated, which could mean significant financial changes for employers. - Download our Wage & Hour Guide for Employers app: https://www.ebglaw.com/wage-hour-guide-for-employers-app. Visit our site for this week's Other Highlights and links: https://www.ebglaw.com/eltw397 Subscribe to #WorkforceWednesday: https://www.ebglaw.com/eltw-subscribe Visit http://www.EmploymentLawThisWeek.com This podcast is presented by Epstein Becker & Green, P.C.

What do you do when a recruit suddenly brings up a non-compete, emotional loyalty, or fear around leaving their current role? This is one of the trickiest moments in recruiting, and how you handle it will either build trust or break it. In this episode of Recruiting Conversations, I walk through the posture, language, and mindset shifts that will help you navigate sensitive transitions with professionalism and integrity. This isn't about pushing people over the line, it's about becoming the kind of leader people feel safe following. Episode Breakdown [00:00] Introduction – Why most leaders freeze when a recruit mentions a non-compete or emotional hesitation. [01:00] Acknowledge the Weight – Before anything else, validate what they're feeling. Don't dismiss it. [01:30] Lead With Empathy – A simple phrase: “Let's slow down and walk through this the right way.” [02:00] Stay in Your Lane – Don't give legal advice. Offer to connect them with a trusted attorney. [02:30] The Professional Position – Show maturity by prioritizing their well-being over your urgency. [03:30] Emotional Loyalty Is Real – Sometimes it's not legal, it's personal. Help them reframe it without shame. [04:00] Long-Term Perspective – Ask: “Ten years from now, what do you want to be proud of?” [05:00] Go Slow to Go Deep – Allow them the time they need. No pressure. Just partnership. [05:30] Build the Right Reputation – Integrity attracts. Your brand is built in moments like this. Key Takeaways Validate Their Fear – Just because you think it's minor doesn't mean it doesn't feel major to them. Offer Support, Not Solutions – Be a guide, not a legal expert. Connect them to the right help. Honor Their Loyalty – Don't fight it. Use it as a mirror of their values and a reason to lead them well. Ask Bigger Questions – Help them think long-term. Align the next move with their vision, not their fear. Integrity Is Your Advantage – Leaders who slow down and protect the recruit build brands that attract. You don't need to push to win. You just need to walk with people in the moments that matter. Handle transitions with care, and you won't just close more recruits, you'll become a leader worth following.

Cardiologist Stanley Liu discusses his article, "5 steps to ride out a non-compete without uprooting your family." He shares his personal experience of being bound by an 18-month, 20-mile non-compete clause after leaving an academic cardiology position and outlines the strategic steps he took to navigate this period without relocating his family. Key points include the critical importance of building a substantial worst-case scenario fund for financial security during negotiations or unemployment, defining clear personal and professional goals for the career transition to maintain focus, and exploring diverse income streams like locum tenens work or non-clinical roles that align with those goals. Stanley also emphasizes the necessity of creating contingency plans (Plan B and C) for potential setbacks and the importance of maintaining professional goodwill by managing the departure process gracefully. Actionable takeaways involve proactive financial planning, intentional career design focused on personal well-being, and strategic navigation of contractual limitations.

Earlier this year, an amendment to the Illinois Freedom to Work Act invalidated non-compete clauses that would make it more difficult for a veteran or first responder to obtain mental health services. Without timely access to proper mental health care, these groups are at a higher risk of developing conditions like PTSD from their line of work.

This week, we're covering the relaxation of state-level non-compete rules, the recent block of Executive Order 14173's diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI)-related certification requirement, and a federal appeals court's decision to pause a challenge to the Biden-era independent contractor rule. Non-Competes Eased in Kansas and Virginia Kansas has enacted a law permitting non-competes while setting requirements for non-solicit provisions. Additionally, effective July 1, 2025, Virginia will prohibit non-compete agreements for non-exempt employees. Federal Contractor DEI Rule Blocked In a lawsuit brought by Chicago Women in Trades, a federal judge paused a rule from Executive Order 14173 requiring federal contractors to certify that they don't operate DEI programs that violate anti-discrimination laws, citing unclear definitions of “illegal” DEI programs Independent Contractor Rule in Limbo The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit paused a challenge to the 2024 independent contractor rule, allowing the U.S. Department of Labor time to consider revising or replacing it. For now, the Biden-era rule remains in effect.

This week on House of Horrors, I'm joined by Bob Lachance, a former pro hockey player turned investor who shares how he lost $150K on a knockdown rebuild in Greenwich, CT and what it taught him about trusting partners, doing due diligence, and not falling for “can't-miss” deals. We also dive into a shady property management horror story and how Bob uses VAs to scale smart.
Today, we're taking on a topic you've probably heard of – it may have even impacted you personally. But you might not be aware just how linked it is to the issue of diversity and inclusion. We're talking about noncompete agreements. Noncompetes have long been a staple in corporate America. But, despite supposedly being in place to protect trade secrets, many workers, including low earners, have been subject to this practice, greatly restricting their career options, flexibility and earning potential. And that's especially the case for underrepresented voices. A number of studies suggest that noncompete agreements more strongly affect women and people of color, with one finding that strict enforcement of noncompete agreements lowered the wages of women and people of color by twice as much as white men. But things are starting to change. Last year, the FTC announced a rule banning noncompetes. Whilst it was largely welcomed by workers, not all employers were so happy about it. So we're going to dive into the issue today. We're going to talk about what noncompete agreements are, how they harm workers, especially women and other underrepresented voices, and share ideas for how organizations can build trust and employee retention, without restrictive contracts. IN THIS EPISODE: [01.38] Introductions to our Blended panelists. · Kiran – Founder and CEO of M2M Business Solutions, and CEO at Brar's · Karin – CEO at NIRAKIO · Chelsey – Founder of The Asterios Group [05.08] The group discuss noncompete agreements – what they are, their purpose, why people sign them, the challenges, and how they ultimately harm workers. · Restricted transitions from employed to self-employment/entrepreneurship · Restricted employed career growth · Can they actually be managed? · Who really wins? · Who is considered competition? – Understanding your exposure as an employee · Regular monitoring and updates · Challenge to enforce · Time and cost implications · Role in sales · Negotiation · Complexity · Intent · Lack of understanding – employees often don't understand the potential depth of the contract · Ethics/integrity · Multitude of agreements: o Noncompete o Non-solicitation o Exclusivity o Separation agreements o Mutual non-disclosure o Confidentiality o NDA · Making it too easy to sign · Different interpretations/translations/meanings · Contradiction · Trust · Impact of words on culture · Role of technology · What can you actually restrict? · Can you restrict people and not AI? · Evolution of noncompetes · Company IP vs personal IP · Impact of job-hopping · Retention incentives · Asking for more money · Creating the right culture · Impact of economic conditions and market changes · Judgement · Senior vs junior employees “At the highest level, it sounds like a good idea. It's at least a good idea for the employer, but not always for the employee.” Karin “It's a system that's put in place with the right intentions, to overcome certain issues, but I personally feel that it doesn't fulfil the requirements either for the employer or the employee.” Kiran “It was originally designed to protect companies, but I don't think that's where it's sitting today.” Chelsey “It's something that has to be monitored, managed and updated – and potentially resigned on a regular basis, if a company is serious about its intent behind the noncompete. That's very expensive, and each and every time you request an employee to re-sign, it's a time for that employee to reconsider if they still want to be a part of that organization.” Karin “Fewer than 10% of workers negotiate these agreements.” Chelsey “Can everyone talk about the meaning of the words?! The words have lost all meaning, they've become buzzwords... Let's talk about the words as part of impact on culture.” Kiran “It's so hard to restrict information in a human brain. If I'm an employee in one place and go to another, I didn't say anything about my previous job… but I still have lessons learned and knowledge, I'm not sharing information customer-to-customer, but I'm going to have new solutions. There are certain things you can't restrict, even when you're being ethical.” Kiran “When you build a body of expertise in a particular market segment, you're more valuable in that market segment… My personal IP makes me more valuable, so why would I want to restrict my ability to serve within that area?” Karin “30-40% of employees are asked to sign an agreement AFTER they've already accepted the job.” Chelsey [01.04.22] The panel share their stories and personal experiences of encountering noncompete agreements, and the lessons they learned. · Impact of coaches and mentors · Legal costs · Signing without reading · Asking questions · Impact of age · Impact on industry as a whole · Personal power · Time boundaries around restrictions · Pay attention to the ‘what-if?' · Transparency “Employers: try to build a culture of trust, celebration and appreciation – make your company a place people don't want to leave. And if they do, they don't want to hurt you!” Chelsey [01.15.18] The group sum up their thoughts from today's discussion.

“All of this is to say that for 2025, and perhaps beyond, the writing appears to be on the wall as to true non-competes.
