Court Issues Final Decision:

The FTC Noncompete Ban and What You Need to Know

August 2024

On August 20, a federal court in Texas issued a final decision in one of the lawsuits challenging the validity of the Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) ban on noncompetes. The judge held that the ban is invalid and “set aside” the FTC’s rule. This ruling represents a major development for anyone affected by the FTC’s ban. 

We encourage you to read the FAQ below to help you and your business understand the impact of last week’s ruling.

As always, please let us know if we can help.

Sincerely, 

Benjamin Fink and Neal Weinrich
