The U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) issued a final rule on April 23, 2024, that would have prohibited most noncompete agreements between employers and workers. This final rule was originally scheduled to take effect nationwide on September 4, 2024. However, on August 20, a federal judge in Texas blocked the FTC's ruling, effectively stopping the ban from going into effect. Foster Swift attorney's Cliff Hammond, Anthony Dalimonte, Mike Blum, and Robert Hamor cover this topic in their 2024 Labor and Employment Law Update: "Recent Developments that Employers Need to Know".

More than 70 municipalities across Michigan have filed against the Michigan Public Service Commission (MPSC) an appeal over the zoning of clean energy sites. The next stop is the Michigan Court of Appeals. Foster Swift attorney, Michael Homier, who represents the 72 townships and 7 municipalities, says that “we are deeply concerned that the MPSC’s ruling undermines the democratic process by removing the voices of local residents and local officials in decisions that directly impact their communities… this decision threatens to leave them powerless in the face of large-scale renewable energy projects."
