Find and work with a lawyer that helps engineers extract themselves from one firm to land at a specifically competing firm. Since most engineers don't hire lawyers, it may be easier to find a lawyer that does this for Firm Z, to pull people from competing firms A - Y. In either case, ideally they will have had to go to arbitration and/or court against the original employer. This person will know what to look for in masses of boilerplate to help you zero in on and fix the 10 words here and there that can change not just your comp but your career options. Expect from $300 - $750 / hr, depending on the size role you're lawyering, which tends to indicate the amount of legalese, traps, and foot guns at play.
