When I founded Equinox 20 years ago, my goal wasn’t just to start a law firm—it was to flip the script on legal services for entrepreneurs and small businesses. I saw a system that treated small businesses as an afterthought, and I thought, “We can do better." Today, Equinox is more than just a legal service provider. We’re a community of forward-thinkers who believe legal support should be an asset, not an obstacle, to business growth.

In a significant legal development, a Texas federal court issued a nationwide preliminary injunction on December 3, 2024, halting the enforcement of the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA). The ruling temporarily suspends the CTA’s reporting requirements, including the critical January 1, 2025, compliance deadline. The Department of Justice may appeal this decision to the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals, which could lead to further legal proceedings and potential changes in the status of the injunction. In this blog, we break down the reasons behind the court’s decision, what it means for the Corporate Transparency Act, and what steps businesses should take to stay prepared.

New developments on the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA), since its reinstatement last December 23. Now the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals is reversing its previous decision. Given the ongoing uncertainty, we suggest companies be ready to file quickly if the preliminary injunction is lifted or overturned. This could mean the January 13 deadline is reinstated, or a new deadline pops up with little warning.
