Offered on Tuesday, March 15th, at the Hyatt Regency in San Francisco, the seminar will provide invaluable information on how law firms and legal departments can reduce the cost, time, and burden of document productions for federal merger investigations.

Merger and acquisition deals in the US above a minimum valuation are subject to review by the DOJ and/or FTC to ensure compliance with antitrust laws. If either the DOJ or FTC determines they need to further review a specific transaction, they issue a "Second Request" for information from the parties involved. To provide any and all relevant information to the government, the companies often must review massive volumes of internal email and documents within a very short time period, a complex and costly process that is best accomplished with the assistance of electronic discovery vendors. CaseCentral has previously worked on major Second Request projects, including one of the largest mergers of 2004.

"As the amount of electronic documents, including emails and their attachments, continues to increase so do the challenges associated with meeting Second Requests," said CaseCentral CEO and founder Christopher Kruse. "Not only is the process costly as a result of the millions of pages of data to search and analyze, but time constraints eliminate any margin for error. We are pleased to be joining forces with our prestigious speakers to offer information that can dramatically ease this process."

Seminar topics will include:

    * How to narrow the scope of documents to be produced
    * How to reduce the cost and burden of reviewing and producing electronic documents
    * Strategies for managing the millions of pages to be located, reviewed, and produced
    * Developing a production plan for the large volumes of hard copy and electronic documents
    * Technology solutions for reducing costs, increasing speed, and improving efficiency
    * Understanding the DOJ and FTC perspective on electronic productions

The seminar offers 2.0 hours of CLE credit in California. Registration begins at 8:30 a.m. and the program runs from 9 to 11 a.m. To register, email CaseCentral at cle@casecentral.com or call (800) 714-2727.
