On August 20, 2024, a significant ruling by the Northern District of Texas blocked the FTC’s impending ban on most non-compete agreements that was set to take effect on September 4. Judge Ada Brown ruled that the FTC lacked the statutory authority to enact such a sweeping ban and found the rule arbitrary and capricious. As a result, the rule is completely blocked from taking effect as scheduled. While this decision is subject to appeal, businesses can continue to enforce non-competes under current state law for now. Read our updated client alert for more details and potential next steps below. #EmploymentLaw #NonCompete #LegalUpdate #UBGreensfelder
