On July 3, 2024, in Ryan v. Federal Trade Commission, a district court in the Northern District of Texas preliminarily enjoined the implementation and enforcement against the plaintiff and plaintiffs-intervenors of a Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Rule (the Rule) banning almost all noncompete agreements between employers and workers. The court also stayed the Rule’s September 4, 2024, effective date as to the plaintiff and plaintiffs-intervenors.

Key Points The FTC’s ban on worker noncompetes is broad, but it allows a few key exceptions, including current noncompetes with “senior executives” and those relating to sales of businesses. And certain entities, including true nonprofits, banks and common carriers are exempt from the rule. The rule is set to go into effect on September 4, 2024, but multiple legal challenges have been filed, and decisions are expected in July 2024 that may delay or prevent implementation.
