Tactically we wonder if leaving them at the competitor at this stage is more useful.

That might be too clever by half.

It is a big assumption that the other company was less aware than you. Because it makes you feel less taken advantage of, it is particularly attractive.

There’s a reason you have an attorney. It is exactly for situations like this.

It might not be worth substantial legal action. But it also is not worth trying to do what happened to you to another business. Even a competitor.

If you play that game, it is easy to say you deserved what happened.
