Munger, Tolles & Olson partner Laura Smolowe spoke with Axios about the Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) ban on non-compete agreements in an article titled, “The future of the noncompete ban isn't totally bleak,” following a Texas court's ruling which held that the FTC’s agency action was unlawful and prohibited its enforcement nationwide. The FTC has argued that non-compete agreements harm workers and stifle innovation, but some employers defend them as a way to protect trade secrets and investments. #MTO #Axios #FTC #noncompetes #tradesecrets #tradesecretlaw

Munger, Tolles & Olson LLP reposted this
Thank you, Rebecca Ellis, for shining a light on the housing crisis facing transition age youth in foster care! Public Counsel is proud to represent seven young people who are suing LA County and the State of California for failing to provide the safe housing and mental health services that young people in foster care are legally entitled to receive. Recently, a Judge ruled in our favor, affirming that the government’s responsibility to provide care and shelter to youth in foster care doesn’t end when they turn 18. The court held that transition age youth in foster care have a constitutional right to shelter, which includes emergency housing options. In addition, the court affirmed that youth with disabilities have the right to access services and placement free from discrimination on the basis of their disability. Together with our co-counsel Children's Rights; Alliance for Children's Rights; and Munger, Tolles & Olson LLP we are committed to ensuring that every young person aging out of the foster system has the support and services they need. https://lnkd.in/eMeQrNDp
