Relative to agreements you have with your employer?


what legal conditions would those be?


Whatever you signed with them.

That said, the truth about commercial disputes is that it is very expensive to prosecute one. It's not like you violate your contract and get sued, but rather the other party is going to have to spend a lot of money and wait a lot of time to get any "justice" -- they aren't going to do anything unless they have a strong motivation.

For instance if you start your own firm and you lose your shirt there is nothing to fight over and no lawsuit.

If you start a $2 billion company they might win a $500 million judgement against you and you might be bitter about that but you will be so wealthy that you ought to be grateful.
