HSR Second Requests and Phase II reviews are challenging due to their scale and strict timelines. Regulators often demand broad collections across many custodians and systems, and scope can expand quickly.
Legal teams must execute very large discovery efforts under fixed deadlines while facing intense scrutiny. Agencies expect productions to be complete, consistent, and precisely formatted.
Success requires tight coordination across legal, technical, and business teams to maintain defensibility and control as the deal progresses.
KLDiscovery delivers workflows for regulatory matters, combining experienced teams and proven processes.
The team has completed over 170 Second Requests since 2012, guiding scoping, prioritization, and production readiness.
Global data centers and multilingual capabilities support international matters and custom solutions.
More than 170 Second Requests completed since 2012, supported by senior leadership experienced in high-stakes antitrust investigations and merger reviews.
Large custodian populations, expansive data sources, and compressed timelines are managed through structured workflows that maintain visibility and consistency from identification through production.
Deliverables align with DOJ, FTC, and international competition authority specifications, reducing risk of rework, follow-up requests, or transaction delays.
Project teams work alongside legal, economic, and business stakeholders, keeping discovery aligned with transaction milestones and regulatory strategy.
We engage early to understand the transaction context, regulator expectations, and internal sensitivities that may shape the review strategy. That early alignment helps avoid unnecessary collection and positions the matter for efficient execution within regulators’ requirements.
Throughout the process, we operate as an extension of your legal team. Our project leaders maintain direct communication with counsel, adjust workflows as scope evolves, and surface risks and suggest approaches before they become issues.
When Second Requests and Phase II expand—as they often do—we scale resources and infrastructure while preserving continuity, security, and oversight.
