HSR stands for Hart-Scott-Rodino and to the Antitrust Improvements Act which bears these names. The act requires companies to file detailed information in certain circumstances with the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice who might then request further information in order to assess whether a proposed transaction is anti-competitive in nature or may offend anti-trust laws.

Either agency may issue a request for additional information on documentary materials, and it is this which is known as a Second Request. Companies need to deal with Second Requests both accurately and promptly.

If computer-assisted review is appropriate for eDiscovery in litigation then it is equally relevant to Second Requests. A webinar to be given by kCura on Wednesday 24 June at 12:00pm CDT is called Second Requests demystified: using assisted review in HSR findings.
