The employer can sue you and can also request an injunction so that you cannot work for the new employer until the matter is resolved. The threat of these two actions oftentimes has a chilling effect upon the new employment. We normally negotiate a settlement to avoid these issues. It is economic in nature. Please call to discuss.
