IntroductionAfter being notified by our internal legal department at Blue Arrow Technologies (hereinafter referred to as BAT) of a pending lawsuit against Just Act Magnificently Inc.

I was also asked to be prepared for the possibility that the same proceeding affected other companies and employees. The electronic discovery process is complex and will involve notifying JAM as soon as possible with a legal notice called a “Litigation Hold” notice.
