🚨 Federal Courts Split on FTC's Non-Compete Ban: A Tale of Two Districts In a developing legal saga, two federal courts have issued conflicting rulings on the FTC's new rule banning most non-compete agreements, set to take effect September 4, 2024. Judge Kelley B. Hodge of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania denied a motion to block the FTC rule, rejecting arguments that the FTC lacks authority and finding no evidence of irreparable harm to businesses. However, in a contrasting decision, Judge Ada Brown of the Northern District of Texas ruled that the FTC lacks substantive rulemaking authority in this area. Judge Brown issued a limited preliminary injunction against the rule in Ryan LLC v. Federal Trade Commission, applying only to the four plaintiffs in that case. The Plot Thickens: 🕰️ Countdown to Clarity: Judge Brown's final ruling expected by August 30 🔮 Crystal Ball Needed: Future of non-competes hangs in legal limbo 🏋️♀️ Employers' Balancing Act: Prepare for change while navigating uncertainty 🎭 Supreme Court Stage? This judicial drama may be heading for a grand finale This stark divide between federal courts sets the stage for a potential Supreme Court showdown on the FTC's authority and the future of non-compete agreements in the U.S. #EmploymentLaw #NonCompete #FTCRuling #LegalDrama

Ryan has won a temporary stay against the Federal Trade Commission legislation to partially block #NonCompeteAgreements until mid August 2024.

This will obviously have a big impact on all businesses but particularly #technology #consulting and #legal. What do you think? #management #venturecapital #privateequity #laborlaw #noncompete #ftc

A first-in-nation ruling in Texas federal court casts serious doubt on the enforceability of the broad-reaching new Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Noncompete Rule. For any company seeking to legitimately protect its hard-earned competitive position, this opinion and the FTC's rule must be considered and understood. While the Texas decision was limited to the parties before that court, the reasoning is important in predicting whether the FTC's Noncompete Rule is likely to go into effect, and all companies need to be constantly reevaluating how they are protecting their corporate secrets.
