Linda Klein, senior managing shareholder at Baker Donelson in Atlanta, was recently honored by the Atlanta Business Chronicle as one of the city's most admired leaders. At an award ceremony last week, she spoke about her efforts as the first woman president of the State Bar of Georgia, where she successfully advocated for the legislature to designate funds for legal services for indigent victims of domestic violence. She encouraged the audience to find their passion, take action, and work toward solving important problems. She is pictured here with associate Rodney Dillard II, Atlanta office managing shareholder Ivy Cadle, and shareholder Felix Faerber.

If you bet against the FTC's Rule banning non-competes, the odds in your favor just got better. Yesterday, a Texas federal court entered an order with nationwide effect, holding that the FTC Non-Compete Rule "shall not be enforced or otherwise take effect" as planned on September 4, 2024. The holding is consistent with the analysis the court applied last month in entering a preliminary injunction applicable only to the parties. Yesterday's order framed the threshold question in the case as "not what the [FTC] thinks it should do but what Congress has said it can do," and determined that Congress did not authorize the agency to promulgate substantive rules regarding unfair methods of competition. The court also found the rule to be arbitrary and capricious. The court found the Rule "unreasonably overbroad without a reasonable explanation," concluding "in sum, the Rule is based on inconsistent and flawed empirical evidence, fails to consider the positive benefits of non-compete agreements, and disregards the substantial body of evidence supporting these agreements."
