In 3 actions over two days this past September, the FTC signaled its plan when it comes to non-compete agreements.

First, it dropped its appeals defending its near-total ban on non-competes. Then the FTC reached a settlement with a company that imposed overbroad non-compete agreements on all employees. Next, the FTC issued a request for information on employers with broad non-compete agreements.

A new video is live on our channel!

The FTC has pulled back its attempt to ban all non-competes. Instead, it’s focusing on case-by-case enforcement against agreements it sees as too broad.

Abby explains what this shift actually means for employers and how to keep your restrictive covenants compliant with FTC expectations.

Watch the full breakdown through the link in our bio.

We're thrilled to announce that our founder and managing partner, Matt Lockaby, has been named to the 2026 Kentucky Super Lawyers Top 50 list!

Only 5% of lawyers in Kentucky are named to the Super Lawyers list, and the Top 50 list comprises those with the absolute highest point totals during the rigorous selection process that includes nominations and evaluations by other lawyers.

Congrats, Matt!

Hiring is changing, Clean Slate laws are expanding, and FCRA requirements still apply.
Here’s what employers need to know before running a background check or making an adverse decision based on one.

A new Senate proposal would require certain employers to regularly report how AI is influencing hiring, layoffs, unfilled positions, and retraining. Public companies would be covered first, with the potential for additional employers to be added through future rulemaking. The Department of Labor would publish these reports to provide ongoing insight into AI's impact on the workforce.

While early in the legislative process, the bill signals increasing federal attention on employer use of AI. Now is a good time for organizations to review how AI factors into job functions and staffing decisions.

Integration is the toughest part of any M&A deal. Two companies. Two cultures. One new organization.

A shareholder or operating agreement is a rule book that keeps your business running smoothly. These agreements define how decisions are made, how ownership works, and what happens when an owner wants out, becomes inactive, or faces a major life change.

Without one, your business defaults to state law, and those default rules rarely match what the owners actually intended.

Whether you're launching a new venture or your business has grown past a handshake agreement, now is the time to put the right protections in place. Our team can help you draft an agreement that reflects your goals, prevents disputes, and protects what you've built.

We recently secured nearly $900,000 in settlement funds on behalf of the United States in a whistleblower (qui tam) action. The case involved allegations that a business made false statements to obtain loans through the Paycheck Protection Program, a federal relief initiative for small businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The federal government continues to prioritize enforcement efforts related to PPP and other CARES Act programs, and whistleblower actions remain one of the most effective tools for uncovering fraud.

Under the False Claims Act, private citizens can bring claims on the government’s behalf when they have evidence of fraud. If you have information about potential misconduct involving federal funds, our team can help you understand your options.
