Commercially, they have little to stand on. They will be relying on non compete clauses to cover that base for them. In reality, good luck, half of them wont wash in federal/supreme court due to restriction of trade etc etc etc. If it was a majority shareholder thats a different story.It'll be interesting to see how this actually goes. If the staff aren't under contract you can't dictate where their next job can be if it's not already written into the terms, and if they are I don't understand how you can enforce the idea that they might be allowed to leave to 14 competitors but not the 15th.
