Fort Lauderdale attorney Deedee Bitran was recently published in the Florida Bar’s Business Law Section Blog.

Deedee’s article, “Florida’s New Law Voids Certain Physician Non-Competition Agreements,” highlights a new addition to Florida’s non-competition law which significantly alters the enforceability of certain physician non-competition agreements. Section 542.336, Florida Statutes, provides that as of July 1, 2019, non-competition agreements entered into between specialist physicians and an entity which employs or contracts with all physicians of that specialty in a specific county are void and unenforceable. Deedee’s article advises “physician employers should be aware of the new law and seek legal counsel to assess the enforceability of their non-competition agreements.”
