On August 20, United States Court District Judge Ada Brown ruled that the Federal Trade Commission lacked the authority to promulgate and enforce its Non-Compete Clause Rule. The Court’s ruling is applicable nationwide and eliminates – for now – the uncertainty that #employers and #employees were facing. Simply put, the FTC #Noncompete Ban that would have barred most post-employment #noncompetition covenants is no longer set to go into effect.

On June 28, The Supreme Court of the United States issued a landmark ruling in Loper Bright Enterprises, et al. v. Raimondo (“Loper Bright”). The decision overturned the Chevron doctrine, in which courts tasked with analyzing a challenge to a federal agency’s interpretation of statutes administered by that agency applied a two-part test. Loper Bright is expected to fundamentally change the course of #administrativelaw and have a significant downstream effect on #employers.
