City of London hits out at Burnham’s plan to scrap non-compete clauses

Hedge funds and banks have criticised Andy Burnham’s proposal to end non-compete clauses in employment contracts, warning it risks “throwing the baby out with the bathwater” and could harm UK firms’ competitiveness. The prime minister said the government will legislate to ensure non-compete clauses no longer hinder hiring for promising start-ups and scaling firms. Burnham’s plan, which restricts clauses that prevent workers from joining competitors after leaving a job, has been welcomed by tech groups but triggered backlash in the City of London.

John Godfrey, managing director at The City UK, said members are “very disappointed” and fear damage to UK financial and professional services. Many City firms, including hedge funds, investment banks and wealth managers, rely on non-compete agreements to stop star traders, money managers and dealmakers being poached by rivals. Burnham called the practice “a drag on innovation” and said innovators must be able to move freely between companies or start their own.

Supporters argue non-competes protect intellectual property, client relationships and training investment. Jiří Król of the Alternative Investment Management Association warned the UK government risks undermining the tech sector’s support. Jillien Flores of the Managed Funds Association said non-compete agreements are vital for protecting proprietary investment strategies in alternative asset management.

Godfrey suggested firms might respond by extending notice periods instead, and stressed any changes should apply only to new contracts. A review launched under Sir Keir Starmer last year considered options from an outright ban to a three-month limit. UK tech founders had urged ministers to limit non-competes and extended notice periods, arguing they hinder competition with Silicon Valley.

California bans non-competes, and the US FTC backed a nationwide ban in 2024 before reversing after a Texas court challenge. The UK government said it wants the UK to be the best place for firms to start, scale, list and stay, and that removing non-compete barriers is key to hiring top talent. It added that backing the financial sector is equally critical, citing pension reforms and listing rule overhauls to boost competitiveness.

Officials aim to release more reform details soon.

Fondos de cobertura y bancos critican la propuesta de Andy Burnham de terminar con las cláusulas no competitivas en los contratos de empleo, advirtiendo que ello riesgo "tirar al bebé con el agua del baño" y podría dañar la competitividad de las empresas del Reino Unido. El primer ministro dijo que el gobierno legislará para asegurar que las cláusulas no competitivas ya no obstaculicen la contratación de start-ups prometedoras y empresas en expansión. El plan de Burnham, que restringe impedir que los trabajadores se unan a competidores después de dejar un trabajo, ha sido bien recibido por grupos tecnológicos pero provocó rechazo en la City de Londres.

John Godfrey, director gerente de The City UK, dijo que sus miembros están "muy decepcionados" y temen daños al sector financiero y de servicios profesionales del Reino Unido. Muchas firmas de la City, incluidos fondos de cobertura, bancos de inversión y gestores de fortuna, dependen de acuerdos no competitivos para impedir que estrellas gerentes de dinero y negociadores sean capturados por rivales. Burnham llamó a la práctica "un freno a la innovación" y dijo que los innovadores deben poder moverse libremente entre empresas o iniciar los suyos.

Los defensores argumentan que las cláusulas no competitivas protegen la propiedad intelectual, las relaciones con los clientes y la inversión en capacitación. Jiří Král de la Alternative Investment Management Association advirtió que el gobierno británico corre el riesgo de socavar el apoyo al sector tecnológico. Jillien Flores de la Managed Funds Association dijo que los acuerdos no competitivos son vitales para proteger las estrategias de inversión propietarias en la gestión de activos alternativos.

Godfrey sugirió que las empresas podrían responder extendiendo los periodos de aviso en su lugar, y enfatizó que cualquier cambio debería aplicarse solo a nuevos contratos. Una revisión lanzada bajo Sir Keir Starmer el año pasado consideró opciones desde una prohibición total hasta un límite de tres meses. Fundadores de tecnología del Reino Unido habían instado a los ministros a limitar cláusulas no competitivas y periodos de aviso extendidos, argumentando que obstaculizan la competencia con el Valle del Silicio.

California prohíbe cláusulas no competitivas, y la FTC de EE. UU. apoyó un prohibición nacional en 2024 antes de revertir después de un desafío legal de Texas. El gobierno británico dijo que quiere que el Reino Unido sea el mejor lugar para que las empresas comiencen, escalen, se coticen y se mantengan, y que eliminar barreras de cláusulas no competitivas es clave para atraer talento destacado.

Añadió que apoyar el sector financiero es igualmente crítico, citando reformas de pensiones y reestructuración de reglas de cotización para impulsar competitividad. Los funcionarios buscan pronto lanzar más detalles de reforma.

Les fonds spéculatifs et les banques critiquent la proposition d'Andy Burnham de mettre fin aux clauses non concurrentes dans les contrats de travail, mettant en garde contre le fait de "jeter le bébé avec l'eau du bain" et de nuire à la compétitivité des entreprises britanniques. Le Premier ministre a déclaré que le gouvernement légiférera pour s'assurer que les clauses non concurrentes n'entraveront plus le recrutement de start-ups prometteuses et d'entreprises en expansion. Le plan de Burnham, qui restreint les clauses empêchant les travailleurs de rejoindre des concurrents après avoir quitté un emploi, a été accueilli par les groupes technologiques mais a suscité une opposition dans la City de Londres.

John Godfrey, directeur général de The City UK, a déclaré que ses membres sont "très déçus" et craignent des dommages au secteur financier et aux services professionnels du Royaume-Uni. De nombreuses firmes de la City, notamment les fonds spéculatifs, les banques d'investissement et les gestionnaires de fortune, dépendent des accords non concurrentiels pour empêcher les traders étoiles, les gestionnaires de fonds et les négociateurs d'être enlevés par des concurrents. Burnham a appelé cette pratique "un frein à l'innovation" et a déclaré que les innovateurs doivent pouvoir se déplacer librement entre les entreprises ou créer les leurs.

Les défenseurs soutiennent que les clauses non concurrentielles protègent la propriété intellectuelle, les relations clients et les investissements en formation. Jiří Král de l'Association for the Management of Alternative Investments a averti que le gouvernement britannique court le risque de affaiblir le soutien au secteur technologique. Jillien Flores de la Managed Funds Association a déclaré que les accords non concurrentiels sont essentiels pour protéger les stratégies d'investissement propriétaires dans la gestion d'actifs alternatifs.

Godfrey a suggéré que les entreprises pourraient répondre en étendant les périodes de préavis à la place, et a souligné que tout changement devrait s'appliquer uniquement aux nouveaux contrats. Une revue lancée l'année dernière sous la direction de Sir Keir Starmer a considéré des options allant d'un interdiction totale à une limite de trois mois. Les fondateurs de technologie au Royaume-Uni ont exhorté les ministres à limiter les clauses non concurrentielles et les périodes de préavis prolongées, soutenant qu'elles entravent la concurrence avec la Silicon Valley.

La Californie interdit les clauses non concurrentielles, et la FTC américaine a soutenu un interdit national en 2024 avant de revenir en arrière après un défi juridique du Texas. Le gouvernement britannique a déclaré qu'il souhaite que le Royaume-Uni soit le meilleur endroit pour que les entreprises commencent, se développent, soient cotées en bourse et restent, et que la suppression des barrières des clauses non concurrentielles soit clé pour attirer les meilleurs talents. Elle a ajouté que soutenir le secteur financier est tout aussi critique, citant des réformes de retraite et des changements des règles d'inscription pour renforcer la compétitivité.

Les responsables visent à publier davantage de détails de réforme bientôt.

हेज फंड और बैंकों ने एंडी बर्नहम के प्रस्ताव का विरोध किया है, जिसमें रोजगार अनुबंधों से गैर-संघर्ष क्लॉज़ को समाप्त करना शामिल है, चेतावनी देते हुए कि इससे "बच्चे के साथ गंदा पानी बहाना" हो सकता है और ब्रिटिश कंपनियों की प्रतिस्पर्धात्मकता को नुकसान हो सकता है। प्रधान मंत्री ने कहा कि सरकार कानून बनाएगी ताकि गैर-संघर्ष क्लॉज़ promising स्टार्ट-अप और स्केलिंग फर्मों के लिए भर्ती को बाधित न करें। बर्नहम की योजना, जो उन क्लॉज़ को प्रतिबंधित करती है जो कर्मचारियों को नौकरी छोड़ने के बाद प्रतियोगियों में शामिल होने से रोकती है, ने तकनीकी समूहों द्वारा स्वागत किया है लेकिन लंदन सिटी में तीखी प्रतिक्रिया उत्पन्न की है। The City UK के प्रबंध निदेशक John Godfrey ने कहा कि सदस्य "बहुत निराश" हैं और ब्रिटिश वित्तीय और पेशेवर सेवाओं को नुकसान होने का डर है। कई City फर्म, जिसमें हेज फंड, निवेश बैंक और संपत्ति प्रबंधक शामिल हैं, स्टार ट्रेडर, फंड मैनेजर और सौदाकर्ताओं को प्रतियोगियों से बचाने के लिए गैर-संघर्ष समझौतों पर निर्भर हैं। बर्नहम ने इस प्रथा को "नवाचार के लिए बाधा" कहा है और कहा है कि नवाचारकर्ताओं को कंपनियों के बीच स्वतंत्र रूप से आवाजाही करने या अपना खुद का स्टार्टअप शुरू करने में सक्षम होना चाहिए। समर्थक तर्क देते हैं कि गैर-संघर्ष क्लॉज़ बौद्धिक संपदा, ग्राहक संबंधों और प्रशिक्षण निवेश की रक्षा करते हैं। Alternative Investment Management Association के Jiří Král ने चेतावनी दी है कि ब्रिटिश सरकार तकनीकी क्षेत्र के समर्थन को कमजोर करने का जोखिम उठा रही है। Managed Funds Association के Jillien Flores ने कहा कि गैर-संघर्ष समझौते वैकल्पिक संपत्ति प्रबंधन में स्वामित्व वाले निवेश रणनीतियों की रक्षा के लिए आवश्यक हैं। Godfrey ने सुझाव दिया है कि फर्में इसके बजाय नोटिस अवधि बढ़ा सकती हैं, और जोर देकर कहा कि कोई भी बदलाव केवल नए अनुबंधों पर लागू होना चाहिए। पिछले साल Sir Keir Starmer के नेतृत्व में शुरू की गई समीक्षा ने पूर्ण प्रतिबंध से लेकर तीन महीने की सीमा तक के विकल्पों पर विचार किया। ब्रिटिश तकनीकी संस्थाओं ने मंत्रियों से गैर-संघर्ष क्लॉज़ और बढ़ी हुई नोटिस अवधि को सीमित करने का आग्रह किया है, यह तर्क देते हुए कि इससे सिलिकॉन वैली के साथ प्रतिस्पर्धा में बाधा उत्पन्न होती है। कैलिफोर्निया गैर-संघर्ष क्लॉज़ को प्रतिबंधित करती है, और अमेरिकी एफटीसी ने 2024 में राष्ट्रीय प्रतिबंध का समर्थन किया था लेकिन टेक्सास अदालत की चुनौती के बाद पीछे हट गई। ब्रिटिश सरकार ने कहा है कि वह ब्रिटेन को स्टार्टअप, स्केलिंग, सूचीबद्ध होने और बने रहने के लिए सबसे अच्छी जगह बनाना चाहती है, और गैर-संघर्ष बाधाओं को हटाना शीर्ष प्रतिभा को किराए पर लेने की कुंजी है। इसने यह भी कहा कि वित्तीय क्षेत्र का समर्थन समान रूप से महत्वपूर्ण है, पेंशन सुधारों और सूचीबद्ध नियमों में परिवर्तन का हवाला देते हुए प्रतिस्पर्धात्मकता को बढ़ावा देना। अधिकारी जल्द ही अधिक सुधार विवरण जारी करने का लक्ष्य रखते हैं।

对冲基金和银行批评安迪·巴恩姆提议终止雇佣合同中的非竞争条款，警告这可能‘把婴儿和洗澡水一起倒掉’，并可能损害英国公司的竞争力。首相表示政府将立法，确保非竞争条款不再阻碍有前景的初创公司和扩大规模企业的招聘。巴恩姆的计划限制了防止工人在离职后加入竞争对手的条款，已被科技团体欢迎，但在伦敦市场引发了强烈反弹。The City UK的管理总监John Godfrey表示成员们‘非常失望’，并担心这会损害英国金融和专业服务业。许多City公司，包括对冲基金、投资银行和财富管理公司，依赖非竞争协议防止明星交易员、基金经理和交易人员被竞争对手挖走。巴恩姆称这种做法‘创新的拖累’，并认为创新者必须能够自由在公司间流动或创业。支持者认为非竞争条款可以保护知识产权、客户关系和培训投资。Alternative Investment Management Association的Jiří Král警告英国政府有冒险危及科技部门的支持。Managed Funds Association的Jillien Flores表示，非竞争协议对保护另类资产管理中的专有投资策略至关重要。Godfrey建议公司可能会通过延长通知期来应对，并强调任何变更只应适用于新合同。去年在基尔·斯塔默领导下启动的审查考虑了从全面禁令到三个月限制的各种方案。英国科技创始人敦促部长限制非竞争条款和延长通知期，认为这阻碍了与硅谷的竞争。加利福尼亚州禁止非竞争条款，美国联邦贸易委员会(FTC)在2024年支持全国禁令后因德克萨斯州法律挑战而逆转。英国政府表示希望英国成为企业创办、扩大、上市和留存的最佳之地，而取消非竞争壁垒是吸引顶尖人才的关键。它补充称，金融部门的支持同样关键，引用了养老金改革和上市规则重组以提升竞争力。官员们计划 soon 发布更多改革细节。
