FTC to Host Workshop on “Litigate the Fix” Merger Remedy Proposals
| WHAT: | The FTC will host a workshop titled “Eleventh-Hour Antitrust Remedy Proposals and Litigating the Fix.” It will discuss the rise in litigate-the-fix cases and how federal enforcers and the courts should respond. Litigate-the-fix cases arise when merging parties propose remedies late in the antitrust review process or even during litigation, forcing the courts, rather than the antitrust agencies, to determine whether the proposed remedy is sufficient. |
| WHEN: | Wednesday, May 20, 2026, 9:00 A.M. |
| WHERE: | Federal Trade Commission Headquarters The event can also be viewed via a livestream. Information on how to access the livestream will be posted to the FTC’s event page in the coming weeks. The event is free and open to the public. Registration is required to attend. |
| WHO: | The workshop will feature remarks from FTC Commissioners, FTC and DOJ officials, scholars and other antitrust experts. |
