How can someone steal your .mdf/.ldf files without having access to your machine. If you cannot restrict person from accessing the machine, you can go for encryption solution, however that is not so straight forward.
If you are really worried about the database structure and design by your company, then better to copyright it and get the clients to sign an agreement. You could take action if it happens such a breach of contract and technically security for the users on the database can be achieved but when it comes to human involvement very hard to control.
