A federal court in Texas has overruled the FTC’s ban on noncompetes that was set to take effect on September 4. The FTC plans to continue its fight against noncompetes, but, for now, noncompetes will remain enforceable, subject to applicable other state and federal laws.

For more information and help reviewing existing noncompetes, reach out to your employment counsel, including Michael Edwards, Mustafa Hassoun, Eric Lansverk, Robert Van Cleve, Matt Weger, or Derek Woolston, or Barry Ziker.
