ARLINGTON, Va., June 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Bloomberg Law today announced multiple new In Focus resources highlighting emerging topics in legal practice including federal agency deference, noncompetition agreements, overtime exemptions, strikes, corporate transparency, and DEI in employment.

Bloomberg Law's In Focus resources are editorially curated with the latest news, commentary, litigation filings, regulatory developments, and practice tools on topics of note to legal practitioners.

In Focus: Chevron, Loper & Agency Deference covers key aspects of judicial review of federal agency actions, including the standard established by the Supreme Court in Chevron v. NRDC. The page will look at how "Chevron deference" and related standards have been applied in federal appellate courts as well as provide detailed, agency-specific information.

The page tracks pending litigation over the rule, provides an interactive map to explore state noncompete laws, and includes Practical Guidance to help employers plan and prepare for the implementation of the FTC's final rule.

In Focus: Overtime Exemptions & Eligibility explains the Department of Labor's final regulation expanding overtime pay requirements to millions of employees. The page includes resources like Practical Guidance to help employers implement changes, an interactive map to make it easier to navigate the interplay of state and federal law, and a docket search to track pending litigation over the rule.

In Focus: Strikes & Lockouts examines the recent uptick in union strike activity in the United States. It includes data, interactive visualizations, and Practical Guidance to help both union and management attorneys understand where strikes are happening and where they are likely to happen next.

In Focus: Corporate Transparency Act highlights resources for practitioners on the developments for state, federal, and select international regulatory frameworks, relating to the Corporate Transparency Act and other disclosures on beneficial ownership.
