The article explores the phenomenon of "litigating the fix" (LTF) in merger cases, where merging firms seek judicial approval of remedy proposals rejected by antitrust agencies. It outlines recent trends in LTF cases and discusses various outcomes, including deal abandonment, failed LTF attempts, and successful LTF with or without additional relief. The agencies mixed track record in LTF trials is also highlighted.
