ATS Tree Services, LLC v. Federal Trade Commission
Small business owner fights FTC’s lawless non-compete ban
Adam Servin founded ATS Tree Services in 2014, offering tree removal services and firewood sales in Pennsylvania. ATS asks new employees to sign a one-year non-compete agreement, meaning an employee who leaves must wait one year before working at a competitor tree care company in the same geographic area as ATS. In 2024, the FTC issued a new rule banning all non-compete agreements in the United States. Represented by Pacific Legal Foundation at no charge, ATS is fighting the FTC’s unchecked power grab in federal court to preserve its ability to provide good jobs and valuable training, hold a powerful federal agency accountable to the rule of law, and restore the proper limits of the FTC’s authority as Congress intended.
