The wait is over. On August 20, 2024, the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas blocked the Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) proposed ban on non-compete agreements. The court determined that the FTC lacked the authority to enforce the ban because it was “unreasonably overbroad.” The FTC non-compete ban will not take effect on September 4, 2024. The FTC is expected to appeal the decision to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals.
