Having a rock-solid workflow and the right partner helps ensure success.

Having a reliable, repeatable approach to Second Requests allows legal teams to be flexible and responsive when the Department of Justice (DOJ) or Federal Trade Commission (FTC) come knocking. In the coming months and years, this may prove critical. Corporate and outside counsel should prepare now for the M&A activity that lies ahead.
