Q&A: Can I be sued for starting my own business and stealing away contracts from my former empoyer?

Question by True2it: Can I be sued for starting my own business and stealing away contracts from my former empoyer?
I am in a specialized field of science and my employer is a government contractor. There is a renewal on a contract coming up and I want to start my own business and have that business bring in the contract. I never signed a non-compete and I am in Nevada. Can my employer win in a lawsuit to the effect that I used my position as an employee to steal away government contracts or what issues am I looking at and what precautions should I take? Thanks for any help.
