I worked in online bookmaking where there is a massive amount of poaching. I would let your new employer know of this and let their legal team look after it for you (saves you the $ and the hassle.) That's what everyone who swapped companies in the industry did, was only an issue with upper management.

I am just an engineer. My final title was "automation engineer". Not in upper management. Thank you.

Good luck! By an issue I meant the former company took them to court and was ordered to pay a few hundred grand
