There are three possible consequences; your employer could threaten to sue you and not actually do so; your employer could sue you; your employer could ignore you. The important question is whether your employer could win a lawsuit against you. Please contact my office for consultation on this contract, as I would have to read it in its entirety to give you an answer. If you would like to contact me, please call Horwitz, Horwitz & Assoc., 312-372-8822 and ask for Carol.
