An administrative law judge of the National Labor Relations Board recently joined the growing chorus of federal and state agencies condemning the use of restrictive covenants. The decision represents a notable shift in the Board’s view of noncompete and, in particular, employee nonsolicitation covenants. Employers should take particular care to review the language of nonsolicitation agreements with covered employees to ensure that they are not likely to be construed to chill employees’ — and former employees’ — engagement in protected activity. You can learn more in this alert by Matthew Fontana, Erik Mosvick, Avery Bennett and David J. Woolf.

Extended Producer Responsibility shifts the costs of material management of packaged goods from consumers to the producers by charging fees based on the quantity of materials sold or distributed in a particular state. EPR shifts the costs of material management from consumers to the producers of packaged goods by charging fees based on the quantity of materials sold or distributed in a particular state. When effectively implemented, EPR encourages circular economies, but it also drives costs for manufacturers. Presently, six U.S. states have enacted EPR laws, with proposed legislation in another 10. You can learn more about EPR and how it may impact businesses in this alert by Thayer Ellis and Amy Waite.

The Second Circuit addressed critical questions regarding the definition of an “automatic telephone dialing system” and whether text messages fall under the TCPA’s prohibition against the use of an “artificial or prerecorded voice.” This ruling is particularly impactful for businesses employing automated systems for marketing communications. Additionally, this decision delineates the boundary between compliant and non-compliant practices under the TCPA, which is crucial for businesses using customer-provided data for targeted communications. Bill Wright and Bridgette Lehman discuss the matter in this post for our “TCPA Blog.”
