Question
Hi! We are a seed-stage health tech startup based in Colorado. We have a team of four developers, two of them are working only part-time and have a day job. My question is, how can we make sure there won't be any IP issues regarding their day job's employers? One of the developers only does front-end/UX design, so I'm not sure that's even a real issue. But the other one works on system architecture and basically the "core" of our product. I just want to make sure we won't get sued by some outside company just because those guys work there. What should we do?

You haven't mentioned whether the day jobs are similar to the jobs that they are performing for you. In any case, you may need to consult a contractual attorney so as to effectively draft a contract which your developers can present to their day job employers for signature to the effect that any products developed by them, not on day job company time, is not the property of the day job employers.
