Antitrust - Second Requests

Does this scenario sound familiar?

Your client just called for the third time this afternoon. The merger has already been announced, and shareholders are anxiously awaiting news of the government's approval. You knew a second request was likely, but you were confident in your ability to negotiate a limitation to the standard document requests. While the government will certainly want to see all the relevant email messages and attachments, you can't imagine your request to search by keywords will be denied. Just when you think your strategy is paying off, you find out your team will have to conduct a comprehensive review of more than 5 million pages of electronic documents in the next 4 weeks in order to keep the merger on schedule. The government lawyers are saying they need more information, when all you want to say is...


Lucky for you, Applied Discovery knows the ins and outs of second request practice.

Our comprehensive e-discovery service offering is designed to help streamline response to government document requests. Because when you really think about it, the second request process hasn't actually changed—only the storage medium and the review tools for the documents are different. With this in mind, we encourage you to trust your own document review instincts and let us handle the technical side.

Working with us is easy—we provide services to assist every step of the way.
