Hart-Scott-Rodino (HSR) Second Requests
Hart-Scott-Rodino Second Requests create special challenges for corporate clients involved in proposed mergers and acquisitions, as they are required to review large data sets and produce responsive documents to the FTC or DOJ in a very short amount of time. The stakes are high, as there are typically no second chances and every day’s delay can put the potential transaction at risk. Encore Discovery Solutions has extensive experience in these projects and has the expertise to help our clients deliver the right documents, on time, on a cost-effective basis.
Services include:
- Forensic preservation of all data
- Defensible minimization of data sets
- Management of interviews with custodians to identify potentially relevant data
- Processing and hosting data
- Management of document review teams
- Document productions to the FTC and/or DOJ
In a recent matter, Encore was able to identify and produce responsive documents from a collection of more than 5 terabytes of data in only 45 days while saving the client more than $700,000 by applying defensible data minimization strategies.
