Practice Notes

A proven provider of eDiscovery support for FTC and DOJ Second Requests, HaystackID was especially active during a four-month period of mid-2019 when it successfully supported six separate Second Requests. These six requests required both antitrust request process experience and cannabis industry expertise in order to meet and exceed reporting requirements for the time-sensitive and comprehensive information and documentation requests.

While the percentage of transactions in which a Second Request was issued by either the FTC or DOJ was only 2.7% in 2015, 3.0% in 2016, and 2.6% in 2017, and 2.2% in 2018, organizations engaged in merger and acquisition activities, either directly from a participatory position or indirectly from a supporting position, should proactively prepare to support the potential for a Second Request given the short deadlines and potential voluminous information requests that may require extensive use of data discovery and electronic discovery technologies and experts to ensure compliance with requests.

As a leader in corporate compliance program design, planning, and implementation, HaystackID recognizes the importance of the recent announcement by the Department of Justice’s Antitrust Division regarding the Division’s new policy for incentivizing antitrust compliance. Please contact HaystackID today to schedule a discussion on how our compliance and eDiscovery offerings may contribute to your organization’s ability to address guidance in the recent DOJ policy update.
