  95. <p>When a team from Latham &amp; Watkins filed a long-shot challenge to New York City’s property tax system back in 2017, they brought the data: Homeowners in Canarsie, a majority-minority neighborhood, were paying effectively three times the tax rate charged their Brooklyn neighbors in wealthy, majority-white Park Slope. Some upscale cooperatives valued at $4,500 per square foot were being taxed as if they were rent-regulated apartments worth $188 per square foot.</p>

  145. <p>The American Arbitration Association reported 91 cases seated in Miami in 2023, while New York hosted 121 cases. Although Miami hasn’t surpassed New York in international arbitration cases since 2021, the only time that has happened, many local practitioners see the recent data as a sign that Miami has firmly established itself as a major player in the space. As a response, firms with local offices are open to beefing up those practices.</p>

  253. <p>The U.S. Chamber of Commerce on Wednesday filed a lawsuit against the <u>Federal Trade Commission (FTC)</u> over the agency&#8217;s ban on noncompete agreements.</p>
  254. <p>In the lawsuit, which was filed in federal court in Tyler, Texas, the Chamber argues that the FTC lacked the constitutional and statutory authority to advance the sweeping regulation. </p>
  255. <p>The Chamber said after the FTC&#8217;s 3-2 vote, which advanced with the support of the agency&#8217;s majority Democratic commissioners, that there are already legal frameworks for determining whether a given noncompete should be upheld or dismissed, and would undermine American businesses&#8217; competitiveness.</p>
  256. <p>The FTC on Tuesday released its final regulation <u>banning noncompete agreements</u>, which prohibit an employee from leaving their current company to work for a competitor and are more commonly used in more senior positions — though some retail and food service companies have also applied them to lower-level workers as well.</p>

  264. <p>The rule, which takes effect in August, bans all new noncompetes as an <u>unfair competitive practice</u>. Existing noncompetes would be treated different for senior executives — defined by the FTC as workers in a &#8220;policy-making position&#8221; who earn over $151,164 annually — as they could remain in for senior executives, while noncompetes for other workers would become unenforceable.</p>
  265. <p>U.S. Chamber of Commerce CEO Suzanne Clark said in a statement after the FTC&#8217;s vote Tuesday that the &#8220;decision to ban employer noncompete agreements across the economy is not only unlawful but also a blatant power grab that will undermine American businesses&#8217; ability to remain competitive.&#8221;</p>

  273. <p>&#8220;Since its inception over 100 years ago, the FTC has never been granted the constitutional and statutory authority to write its own competition rules. Noncompete agreements are either upheld or dismissed under well-established state laws governing their use,&#8221; Clark said. </p>
  274. <p>&#8220;Yet, today, three unelected commissioners have unilaterally decided they have the authority to declare what’s a legitimate business decision and what’s not by moving to ban noncompete agreements in all sectors of the economy,&#8221; she added.</p>

  282. <p>FTC spokesman Douglas Farrar told  in a statement, &#8220;Our legal authority is crystal clear. In the FTC Act, Congress specifically &#8217;empowered and directed&#8217; the FTC to prevent &#8216;unfair methods of competition&#8217; and to &#8216;make rules and regulations for the purposes of carrying out the provisions of&#8217; the FTC Act.&#8221;</p>
  283. <p>&#8220;This authority has repeatedly been upheld by courts and reaffirmed by Congress. Addressing noncompetes that curtail Americans&#8217; <u>economic freedom</u> is at the very heart of our mandate, and we look forward to winning in court,&#8221; Farrar added.</p>
