Trending Topics in Business Litigation 2024

Product ID: CA3692R8
Presented By: State Bar of Wisconsin PINNACLE

Endorsed by the Business Law Section of the State Bar of Wisconsin

Leading the way in business litigation

Trending Topics in Business Litigation 2024 is your authoritative guide to today's most pressing issues shaping business law and practice. Explore a diverse array of litigation issues in this engaging, fast-paced program, from the “Blue Pencil” rule to trends in appellate practice. You’ll get actionable insights from experienced practitioners as they discuss their challenges and successes in candid panel discussions.

SCOTUS in focus

In Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo and Relentless, Inc. v. Department of Commerce, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the Chevron doctrine, which previously required courts reviewing federal agency decisions to give deference to agency expertise. This ruling paved the way for challenges to agency rules governing employers, including the Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) recent ban on noncompete agreements. Discuss the implications of these recent decisions on your clients, anticipate the outcome of continued litigation, and survey recent noncompete developments in the states.
