I am employed as the VP of Sales for a Massachusetts corporation and I have learned of a business opportunity from my current employer. It is a competing business that is for sale. My current employer has evaluated the business and made an offer which was rejected as too low. It has been 6 months now and my current employer is not actively pursuing the purchase of the competing business (the President stated he wouldn't spend anything more for the competing business). Is it a conflict for me to purchase the business? Is there any law that I could be sued for ? I am not under any contract or non-compete agreement.
