## Editorial approach

Legal tools are drafted against current 2026 statutes and case law (DOL NPRM Feb 26 2026, FTC non-compete vacatur Sep 5 2025, Freelance Isn't Free Acts, 17 USC §101(2), DTSA §1833(b), EFAA). Articles cite specific statutes and case names and are updated when the legal landscape changes. Nothing on the site is legal or financial advice.
