Owner

I need some quick advice before I call my lawyer. I run a business in CA, and one of my employees is starting a competing venture on the side. They've filed paperwork, contacted our vendors, and tried to steal clients – all while on the clock. I've got clauses in their contract, but suing in CA for breaches is tough. This is new territory for me after 8 years. The employee's a top performer, but I can't let them take advantage. Do I sue or terminate? Worried things could get ugly. Thoughts?
