On July 3, 2024, United States District Court Judge Ada Brown ruled against the Federal Trade Commission and issued a preliminary injunction postponing the implementation of the agency’s controversial rule banning noncompete clauses. The decision, in Ryan vs. Federal Trade Commission, is incredibly narrow, only applying to the named parties in the lawsuit.

On Friday, June 28, the Supreme Court overturned the longstanding Chevron doctrine, on a 6-3 vote, which had previously required courts to defer to federal agencies' reasonable interpretations of statutes within an agency’s ambit. The Chevron rationale was simple: agencies are specialists in their field and so should receive deference when courts review agency actions.

In a series of rulings at the end of its term, the Supreme Court fundamentally changed administrative law precedents, including some that have held firm for more than 40 years. The decisions will curtail federal agencies’ ability to interpret laws they administer when a governing statute is silent or ambiguous on an issue, and empower courts to use tools of traditional statutory construction for ambiguous laws. Each decision, as outlined below, will have far-reaching effects for all federal regulations and lawmaking in Congress.

Congratulations to Dawn Sullivan, the recent winner of our monthly Employee Recognition Program. Dawn works with the firm’s Intellectual Property & Technology Group to assist clients with protection and enforcement of intellectual property rights.

To honor Pride Month, Brownstein Pride—our employee resource group for LGBTQ+ community members and allies—hosted a variety of events focused on community building and allyship. Special guest Jim Fielding, former Disney executive and author of best-selling book “All Pride, No Ego,” joined us for our annual firmwide Pride celebration for a virtual discussion about his journey as a queer executive. The firm partnered with the LGBTQ+ Victory Fund for its annual Congressional Pride Reception and hosted the LGBTQ+ Presidential Appointee Pride Celebration in partnership with the LGBTQ+ Victory Institute and Q Street. Additionally, our Denver office celebrated Pride at the Denver Pride 5K, which raises funds to support The Center on Colfax.

Last week, in West Flagler v. Haaland, the U.S. Supreme Court dealt a major blow to opponents of online tribal sports betting, effectively affirming the D.C.

Colorado wrapped up its primary elections on Tuesday, June 25. Although voter turnout was reportedly lower for this year’s primary elections across the state, the results could still portend shifts in the trajectory of Colorado politics—for both state and federal lawmakers. Overall, it was a good night for centrists as voters selected several candidates—on both sides of the aisle—who were perceived to be more moderate than their primary opponents.
