I have accepted and signed an employment contract from a company, and I am trying to identify any legal consequences of withdrawing from that acceptance to stay where I am

Thank you for your question. It would be very unusual, but not impossible, for an employer to pursue an employee in court for reneging on a job offer. Your liability would typically depend on how long you wait to renege. If you are going to renege, your chances of being at risk are typically lower if you let them know sooner rather than later.
