Case study
Antitrust Investigation Case study
Client challenge:
A global pharmaceutical corporation, operating in a highly competitive industry identified potential antitrust violations within its operations. Aware of the serious consequences, the company engaged FORCYD to conduct a comprehensive internal investigation spanning 15 months. With approximately 50 key custodians and 1.038 GB of data involved, the scale of the task required advanced eDiscovery and document review methodology.
FORCYD solution:
The investigation began with the identification and processing of 15.150.000 documents linked to key custodians. Through meticulous application of De-NISTing, filtering, and deduplication, the document count was significantly reduced to 5.800.000. Subsequently, additional Early Case Assessment (ECA), and further refinement techniques Including date filtering, domain analysis, legal privilege filtering, email threading, near-duplicate identification, and keyword searching were employed, ultimately reducing the document pool to 2.590.000.
Our expert multilingual review team identified a potential corporate policy violation, which was verified by our qualified patent lawyers during second-level review. Based on this finding, the company decided to apply for leniency under antitrust regulations. The application, submitted within the strict deadline, included a comprehensive set of evidence gathered through the eDiscovery process.
Achieved results:
Due to the timely submission and the comprehensive evidence provided, leniency was granted. As a result, the client received a significantly reduced fine compared to the potential penalties that would have been imposed without leniency. Additionally, the company successfully mitigated the risk of reputational damage associated with public antitrust allegations.
