Illinois has a trade secret act ,so if you plan to steal former clients you can be sued by your boss
(source: http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/ilc
try to follow these guidelines
Limit your solicitations to those clients for whom you're the "sole and exclusive" firm contact--if you do most of the client's work but the client plays golf with your boss every week, you're not the "sole and exclusive" firm contact and should avoid soliciting that client.
Wait until after you leave the firm before sending any e-mail or written correspondence to those client with your new contact information.
Do not offer these clients any discounts or "deals" you wouldn't also give to someone who walks in off the street.
also never delete your company's mailing lists/client contact/etc...
Ttl;Dr:
Start contacting partners/clients after you have left
steal but don't delete business information
and try to talk about it with him first, maybe even buy the business
(you can get a loan for that if you don't have the capital)
as long as you copy the bussines model and don't steal it, contact clients independently you should be fine
