Is the join domain prefix legally risky?

How legally risky is it to register a joinXYZ.com domain when XYZ.com is an existing business (different industry/product)? I'm concerned that XYZ could argue that I'm trying to capture their customers and prospective hires.



This is a trademark issue and I believe laws vary by country. No idea how to quantify the risk though.
