On August 20, a U.S. District judge ruled that the FTC's ban on most non-competes exceeded the FTC’s statutory authority. This decision sets aside the non-compete ban nationally, meaning the ban cannot be enforced or take effect on September 4, 2024. Employers may continue to utilize non-competes if permitted by state law, in the manner prescribed by state statutes and case law. There is a reasonable likelihood of an appeal, in which case, there may be additional developments to follow. Babst Calland will continue to monitor this situation and will advise as to whether employers must take any action in the future. If you have questions about the status of the now-barred FTC non-compete ban, use of non-competes under existing state law, or strategies to deal with the ever-changing landscape of non-competes, please contact Babst Calland Attorneys Alexandra Farone, Steve Antonelli or Steve Silverman. https://lnkd.in/dj-Urv7z #babstcalland #employmentlaw #noncompetes

When faced with an allegation that can potentially expose the company to legal, financial and reputational harm, it is critical that the company promptly investigate the facts and assess the business risk in order to make an informed decision on the best course of action.

Stare decisis has always been seen as a stabilizing force in the law. But, as Babst Calland lawyers, Casey Coyle and Michael Libuser, demonstrate, it's also good for the courts themselves, as a rapid change in longstanding precedent can sour public perception of the courts. We've seen it with the U.S. Supreme Court. And now the Pa. Supreme Court has two cases before it with more than 150 years of precedent behind them - one involving the statutory employer doctrine, the other statutory damages caps for government agencies. Would the state Supreme Court see a similar dynamic if we end up seeing a major shift in the law?
