We all work in a free market system. If your ex-employee and her new employer outbid her on jobs, that's just the way it is. However, if your former employer is targeting your company with the intention of doing economic harm, then you may be able to take some civil action. Your first stop is to speak with an attorney and get an expert opinion. An attorney sending a "cease and desist" letter and threatening legal action perhaps is the place to start.
