> Also, if your business is more at risk from employees than competitors, I think you need to seriously reconsider either your treatment of your employees, your business model, or your market analysis.
You are always at more risk from employees because they have multiple ways to hose you. Labor disputes, billing issues, intellectual property ownership agreements, etc.
This is why we have things like NDAs, Confidentiality Agreements, Patent Assignments, Stock Agreements, etc.
You don't have to be treating your employees badly for one to cause you issues. Even a disagreement about how much to sell the company for can cause problems, and that's not even a malicious reason to disagree.
