Antitrust Teleconference Advisory Board
Antitrust investigations and lawsuits brought by the FTC and Department of Justice can trigger unique e-discovery challenges for businesses. Moreover, electronic information, including email, metadata and backup files, can be critical evidence in proving or disproving anti-competitive conduct.
Antitrust counsel must understand and prepare for the differences in dealing with the FTC and DOJ on e-discovery issues — and the issues that tend to arise in civil and criminal investigations, as well as in the second request process.
To meet the strict time limits to respond to requests for documents in government investigations and litigation, counsel must fully grasp the recent federal amendments. Failure to strictly comply can result in huge strategic disadvantages — and even court sanctions.
Listen as our authoritative panel of antitrust attorneys reviews the new e-discovery rules amendments and how they apply to civil and criminal investigations and the second request process.
The panel included:
Jeane A. Thomas, Partner, Crowell & Moring, Washington, D.C. She is in the firm's Antitrust Group and co-chairs its E-Discovery Practice. She handles all types of antitrust representations, including civil litigation and government investigations.
William P. Butterfield, Partner, Cohen Milstein Hausfeld & Toll, Washington, D.C. He focuses his practice on complex civil litigation involving antitrust claims and he is a recognized leader in the field of electronic discovery.
The panel reviewed these and other key questions:
- What are the components of an effective overall electronic information management, retention and destruction strategy for companies with potential antitrust concerns?
- What unique e-discovery issues can arise in antitrust matters — and what are the best approaches for preserving and collecting potential evidence?
- What are the key differences in producing information for and negotiating with the FTC and DOJ?
- What is the impact of the amended discovery rules on the second request process?
