FTC Announces  Workshops on Merger Investigation

Joseph J. Simons, Director of the Federal Trade Commission's Bureau of Competition, today announced a schedule and agenda for public workshops on merger investigation best practices. The schedule includes specialized workshops on electronic records and on accounting and financial data, and several general sessions covering the full range of merger investigation practices. The Commission's March 15 press release - FTC Initiates Best Practices Analysis for Merger Review Process - contains more detailed information on the subject matter at issue. Separate meetings on remedy best practices are being scheduled.

These workshops are designed so that the public can identify ways in which the Commission can improve its merger investigation practices. Interested groups or individuals are encouraged to present any recommendations, criticisms, or ideas for improvements. The meetings will be transcribed stenographically to assist the Commission in identifying best practices. Any one wishing to submit written comments in advance may do so at bestpractices@ftc.gov.

	Did You Know?
	You have a specific time frame to file a wrongful death lawsuit. Each state has its own "statute of limitation" which defines the time from during which a lawsuit must be filed. Traditionally, the statute of limitation is 1-3 years, depending on which state you live in. A claim, even a valid claim, may be denied if it is filed after the statute of limitation has run out.
