FTC Appeals Decision On Noncompete Ban

In August we reported that the Federal Trade Commission’s new rule banning noncompete agreements would not go into effect because it was declared unlawful by a Texas federal court and “set aside with nationwide effect” for all employers.  On October 18, 2024, the FTC appealed that decision to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. 

We will keep you posted on developments in this case. For the time being, Nevada employers can focus on ensuring any noncompete restriction used meets the parameters of Nevada law. 

If you would like assistance with a noncompete agreement, or you have questions about Nevada law, please contact a KZA attorney.
